Interfacing Django Project with Python Script

[Jake Rudolph]

If I have a separate Python script that I want to interact with my Django project, how do I set them up to communicate?

U can just import the modules in the script file the way you import django modules.

Not 100% sure what you mean. Do you mean you want to have a standalone
python script that uses the ORM? I do this all the time. Just import
what you need.

So basically I have my Django app that takes in information from a user to make new objects, and I need to send some of that information to a separate script that performs logic and such with that information. When certain events occur I need to send information from the script to the database.

I think what you really need is a custom Django management command. You can take a look at the implementation of createsuperuser, it takes some input and creates a user based on this info.

For a standalone script (and django 1.7+), you'll need to add this at the top of your script:

import django
django.setup()

Invoke that script with an ajax call. I do that all the time. I have a
view function that get called by the ajax request and that runs a
script and returns results back to the browser.
