-------------------------------+--------------------
The standard behaviour of django means that the management interface is
largely useless when run on a server where only the web server user has
write access to the log files:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3980889/django-prevent-logging-
permission-errors-from-shell/
The recommended solution is currently to:
1. Create a separate management_settings.py file that is merely:
{{{
from .settings import *
LOGGING_CONFIG = None
}}}
2. Set up the management command to use management_settings.py instead of
the same settings file as the web service (or pass --settings explicitly
on the command line)
While that's powerful and effective, an explicit "--nolog" option would be
a lot simpler. Also, "--help" should imply "--nolog" to prevent behaviour
like the following:
{{{
$ python -m pulpdist.manage_site --help
Usage: manage_site.py subcommand [options] [args]
Options:
-v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal
output,
2=all 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 Print traceback on exception
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
