My collection of things for working with Django.

Latest release 20241111: Rename DjangoBaseCommand to just BaseCommand so that we go from cs.djutils import BaseCommand. Less confusing.

Class BaseCommand(cs.cmdutils.BaseCommand, django.core.management.base.BaseCommand)

A drop in class for django.core.management.base.BaseCommand which subclasses cs.cmdutils.BaseCommand.

This lets me write management commands more easily, particularly if there are subcommands.

Usage summary:

Usage: base [common-options...] [options...]
  A drop in class for `django.core.management.base.BaseCommand`
  which subclasses `cs.cmdutils.BaseCommand`.
  Subcommands:
    help [common-options...] [-l] [subcommand-names...]
      Print help for subcommands.
      This outputs the full help for the named subcommands,
      or the short help for all subcommands if no names are specified.
      -l  Long help even if no subcommand-names provided.
    info [common-options...] [field-names...]
      Recite general information.
      Explicit field names may be provided to override the default listing.
    shell [common-options...]
      Run a command prompt via cmd.Cmd using this command's subcommands.

BaseCommand.add_arguments(self, parser): Add the Options.COMMON_OPT_SPECS to the argparse parser. This is basicly to support the Django call_command function.

BaseCommand.handle(*, argv, **options): The Django BaseComand.handle method. This creates another instance for argv and runs it.

BaseCommand.run_from_argv(argv): Intercept django.core.management.base.BaseCommand.run_from_argv. Construct an instance of cs.djutils.DjangoBaseCommand and run it.
