A bit confused but your saying 'accessing a django built website' through another program. Do you mean access the server? I do that, and also access the database, all the time. I have stand alone python scripts that access the server using python requests or instantiating one of my server's objects the same way a request from the browser would. And I have script that access the db, both using the ORM and with embedded SQL. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
