Hey Russ and Waylan,
Thanks for the responses.
Russ, I actually did that:
import sys
sys.path.append("path/to/project")
from project.app import models
complained about environment settings. But when I dug into fixing that, I
over complicated the matter. Waylan's response saw through my over
complication and we get to:
import os, sys
sys.path.append("path/to/project")
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "project.settings"
from project.app import models
and that works great.
Again, thank you both for your response.
