Can you explain what you mean when you write "trying to run Python script"? What do you want this script to do, and how do you want it activated? Have you tried using Django's `manage.py shell` command? There should be no reason, with three months experience, for you to be anywhere near the Django initialization process, which has nothing to do with running a python script.
Is this a production server you used the `fab all` script to deploy, or is this local development. If you used the `fab` commands, all of your settings will just work. You used version control for all your changes, right, so backing out of your changes is a walk in the park. That sounds like a good course of action. I make my junior developers create and destroy environments daily so they don't develop an unreasonable phobia of either. hth, ken On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 2:50 PM, Malik Rumi <[email protected]> wrote: > UPDATE > > I have deduced that somewhere along the way, I triggered configuration > changes that have led me to this point.
