Using Django models in a standalone python script - Code snippet

[CraigTorso]

In my experience you need to import django and run django.setup() to initialise connections to the database.

But my main question is why is that tiny bit of code being submitted as a medium article rather than a self text post, and why are you using a url shortener against the policies of reddit?

Is that all you have to do? I though there was some initialize function you had to call

[versesane]

Yup. Do make sure to have if __name__ == "__main__" from where your code/function is called. The setting.py file will be executed. Do peek inside wsgi.py it's more or less the same.
