Actually, I wrote up a little howto when I did the standalone Django
template. http://www.programmerq.net/django_standalone_templates.html

As for using the ORM in a standalone mode, there are plenty of examples
and the like out there. Its pretty straightforward to do-- you just need
to set your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to point to your settings, and write
models/use inspectdb.

The same type of thing is achieved when someone wants a cronjob to do
something with their Django models. There are plenty of howtos for that
as well.

That sounds promising.  I really wanted to use the ./manage.py
inspectdb tool in particular to turn this foreign db into python for
me.  Is it at all possible to share your template?

By "outside of Django" I'm guessing you mean "outside of a web environment"

Yes, you can use Django components separately. At work we use Django's
ORM for management scripts such as print accounting.

I've set up a standalone Django template-- no views, models, or urls. It
was more like a traditionaly CGI script.

You just need to import the appropriate Django libs in your Python
script, and you are good to go.

django cms outside of django

2008-10-05 Thread chiggsy

What steps are needed to use the django cms outside of django.  I have
a database , that i want to manipulate.  it's just a db.  I dont want
to learn SQLAlchemy for this , today. I just want to goof around with
it, run some queries, etc.  is this possible?
