    text
    copied!<p>I was looking through <a href="http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2009/sep/15/using-django-inside-tornado-web-server/" rel="nofollow">http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2009/sep/15/using-django-inside-tornado-web-server/</a> and I thought it was interesting and useful to use parts of Django if we need it in Tornado.</p> <p>Based on the setup in <a href="http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2009/sep/15/using-django-inside-tornado-web-server/" rel="nofollow">http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2009/sep/15/using-django-inside-tornado-web-server/</a> how can we use <code>manage.py syncdb</code> ?</p> <p>Here's what i have tried so far: I've tried shifting manage.py to the same folder as the tornado project, and ran <code>manage.py syncdb</code> but it returns saying that settings.py is not found.</p> <p>than i tried to move setting.py to the same folder and ran manage.py again. It tells me that no fixtures found. This time round, I have no idea how to configure settings.py since this is not a Django project.</p> <p>Any advice or thoughts?</p> <p>=================updates======================</p> <p>Hi all, continuing from the above an using advice provided by Agos, i've tried running python manage.py syncdb --settings=dj_tornado and it returns </p> <pre><code>`"Error: Can't find the file 'settings.py'` in the directory containing 'manage.py'`. It appears you've customized things. You'll have to run django-admin.py, passing it your settings module. (If the file settings.py does indeed exist, it's causing an ImportError somehow.)" </code></pre> <p>So what i did is to run <code>django-admin.py syncdb --settings=dj_tornado</code> and it returns <code>"django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You haven't set the database ENGINE setting yet."</code> </p> <p>But the weird thing is that the database engine has been set. How would I go about fixing this? i'm using django 1.2.3 and Tornado 0.2 by the way.</p> <p>=================updates again======================</p> <p>Hi all, i've applied the advice provided by Agos, with a settings.py file in teh same folder as manage.py, and ran the command <code>django-admin.py syncdb --settings=dj_tornado</code>. I still received the error: </p> <pre><code>django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You haven't set the database ENGINE setting yet. </code></pre> <p>But i have already configured the database based engine as follows: in dj_tornado.py:</p> <pre><code>from django.conf import settings settings.configure( DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', 'NAME': 'dev.db', } } ) </code></pre> <p>I'm kind of at my wits end. How do i use syncdb outside of Django project?</p> <p>Best.</p>
