Manually running a script that imports a Django model

[Sourish Kundu]

So I am trying to access one of my models created in views.py in another script. This second script is the one I would like manually run. It imports the model without any errors; however, when I try to run it using PyCharm, I get this error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

Any help on resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sourish

Hi,

the solution is written in the error message "You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure()...". But I would recommend you to use https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/runscript.html. I think it is what you are want. ;)

Regards.

Adam

Firstly, what are your models doing in views.py? I am assuming it was a typo.

For scripts like these that are not part of your web server or that do not take part in the request-response cycle, I like to implement them as custom Django commands. You can read more about them here.

Could it be an improperly configured database ?

Also check installed apps.  

It is most likely a syntax error in settings like a comma, colon or apostrophe
