Now I'm stuck... As you guys pointed to me, I've searched the web for DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and found that I can use django.conf.settings to set the settings and that allowed me to use django in standalone scripts.
To be more clear I use: from django.conf import settings then in the code somewhrere else: settings.configure( DATABASE_ENGINE='sqlite3', DATABASE_NAME=theFullPathOfTheDatabaseFile ) My whole point of using Django was to be able to use its ORM for project management purposes. I'm trying to write an open source asset/project manager for animation studios. So, in my design, I'm going to connect one projects database (an sqlite3 database file) then in the same session (without restarting the whole python shell again) I need to connect to another projects database. So when I use settings.configure for the second time I get ( I presume the very famous ): RuntimeError: Settings already configured. errors... So how should I access another database in one session? should I use the development version of Django which allows multiple databases?
