run manage.py commands within app

[judy wawira]

Hello I have a django app using haystack and a solr backend to power searches

There is dynamic addition of data and wonder if there are other ways to automatically rebuild the solr index without manually going to the command line to run manage.py rebuild_index

Thanks

I use cron and a script - but would love to hear other methods as well.

Notes: Need to add virtualenv to PATH:

crontab -e

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/home/erp/.virtualenvs/prod/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

#
# m h dom mon dow command
0 * * * * cd /home/www/prod/erp/ && python manage.py update_index
--settings=erp.settings.production >> /tmp/cronupdate.log 2>&1 &&
python manage.py build_solr_schema --filename=schema.xml
--settings=erp.settings.production >> /tmp/cronbuild.log 2>&1 && cp
schema.xml /opt/solr/erp/conf/

From this perspective it is natural that anarchism be marked by
spontaneity, differentiation, and experimentation that it be marked by
an expressed affinity with chaos, if chaos is understood to be what
lies outside or beyond the dominant game or system. Because of the
resistance to definition and categorisation, the anarchist principle
has been variously interpreted as, rather than an articulated
position, “a moral attitude, an emotional climate, or even a mood”.
This mood hangs in dramatic tension between utopian hope or dystopian
nihilism...

from django.core import management
management.call_command('rebuild_index',)
