Django Custom Commands

A Django package which allows specifying custom paths to load managenent commands from. This allows loading management commands which are not in Django apps.

Installation

pip install django-custom-commands

Usage

There's two things you need to do to use this package:

1. Import call_command, get_commands and execute_from_command_line from django_custom_commands.management instead of django.core.management.
2. Define a CUSTOM_COMMAND_LOCATIONS setting in your settings.

The CUSTOM_COMMAND_LOCATIONS should be a list of strings, where each string points to a module where commands can appear. The string should be a dotted path, similar to how apps are defined. The package will then try to load commands from .management.commands in those modules. For example if you have a command in src.demo.management.commands, but you can't/don't want to make src.demo a Django app, you would configure CUSTOM_COMMAND_LOCATIONS = ["src.demo"].
