pdm-django: Django command shortcuts for PDM

A plugin that gives you command shortcuts for developing with PDM.

pdm run python manage.py runserver -> pdm manage runserver

pdm run django-admin startproject narf -> pdm django-admin startproject narf

Requirements

Tested with PDM 2.1.X

Install

pdm plugin add pdm-django

Usage

manage.py

Example: pdm manage runserver

django-admin

Example: pdm django-admin startproject narf

Configuring .env

pdm-django inherits from the pdm run command, so if you would like to load a dotenv file, use the same notation in your pyproject.toml file.

[tool.pdm.scripts]
_.env_file = ".env"

CLI Option Conflicts

You may run into some options conflicts between the pdm command and the Django command you run. As of right now the only one I can find is pdm manage --help for which you will get the pdm help instead of the Django help. However, note you can still run pdm manage or pdm manage help to view the Django help. Same situation applies for pdm django-admin --help.
