pgwait 0.2

wait for postgres defined in django settings to be up

This command-line tool reads django settings, then tries to connect to configured postgresql server until connection succeeds. It is useful on service startup, when you want to launch migrations right after postgres database gets ready.

Usage

To wait before migrations:

pgwait && ./manage.py migrate

Specifying settings path

You can either set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable, or specify settings module path in the first command-line argument.

pgwait path.to.settings
