-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
The default '''manage.py''' script (created by '''django-admin.py
startproject''') does not "correctly" set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in a way
that permits running manage.py from another directory.
We discovered this while working on a custom manage.py command
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands).
When trying to run our new command from a directory that was not within
our project folder, the command extensions were not available. Our
extensions were only visible when the manage.py command is run from
withing our project folder.
The quick fix was to add our project path to sys.path.
But a better solution is to add this to the
django/conf/project_template/manage.py template file. Something such as
this:
{{{
diff --git a/django/conf/project_template/manage.py
b/django/conf/project_template/manage.py
index 391dd88..656deaf 100755
