Here is the help text for the collectstatic command:
{{{
$ ./manage.py collectstatic --help
Usage: ./manage.py collectstatic [options]
Collect static files in a single location.
Options:
-v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal
output,
2=verbose output, 3=very verbose output
--settings=SETTINGS The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
"myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided,
the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will
be
used.
--pythonpath=PYTHONPATH
A directory to add to the Python path, e.g.
"/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
--traceback Raise on exception
--no-color Don't colorize the command output.
--noinput Do NOT prompt the user for input of any kind.
--no-post-process Do NOT post process collected files.
-i PATTERN, --ignore=PATTERN
Ignore files or directories matching this glob-
style
pattern. Use multiple times to ignore more.
-n, --dry-run Do everything except modify the filesystem.
-c, --clear Clear the existing files using the storage before
trying to copy or link the original file.
-l, --link Create a symbolic link to each file instead of
copying.
--no-default-ignore Don't ignore the common private glob-style
patterns
'CVS', '.*' and '*~'.
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
}}}
Clearly mentioned is a {{{--settings}} flag, which takes a path to a
django settings file. Supposing, however, that we want to run
collectstatic from a script and want to dynamically modify our settings
file. For example, something like
{{{
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.management import ManagementUtility
settings.USE_S3 = False
m = ManagementUtility(['', 'collectstatic'])
m.execute()
}}}
The command instead uses the settings specified at the shell variable
{{{DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE}}} instead of the dynamic settings. Kind of
pesky to have to create a separate settings file to get control of this
sort of thing.
