orm-django

The power of Django ORM for use in standalone scripts.

Install

pip install orm-django

Define Django settings

By default the ORM settings will use DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE from environment variable. If not found we will fallback to settings module.

Minimum settings configuration

You should at least configure your INSTALLED_APPS in settings to be able to use its models:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'app_1',
    ...
    'app_n',
]

And the database:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': DB_NAME,
        'USER': DB_USER,
        'PASSWORD': DB_PASSWORD,
        'HOST': DB_HOST
    },
}

To use, just import it at the first line of your script file:

import orm

and you will be able to import and use all models form your apps.

Tested using Python > 3.7 and Django >= 4.0
