Thanks Ryan! - I tried to run the script from: myproject/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cartridge/shop/management/commands/product_db.py but got an ImportError: No module name mezzanine.conf I couldn't find anything in the Cartridge docs or in Mezzanine. So is it in Django documentation? Please, could you give me a couple more hints and/or tell me where to go for more info on what to do? I passed my python MOOC so I've got plenty of time on my hands now. Haha! Regards, Stevo
