Hi Patrice, Returning a value from a management command's ``handle`` method is documented [1], though it might only be useful in very specific situations (namely, when your management command produces SQL code). The problem you're facing is that your management command writes directly to ``sys.stdout`` instead of ``self.stdout`` as indicated in the docs [2]. If you change your management command to use ``self.stdout``, it should work as you expect. Good luck, Michal [1]: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/custom-management-commands/#django.core.management.BaseCommand.handle [2]: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/custom-management-commands/#management-commands-output -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
