No, you're wrong. Transaction decorators work not only in view functions.
They work anywhere in the web app, provided transaction middleware is
included.

A ticket in my queue is similar, so I understand you perfectly.
Quick glance on django.middleware.transaction shows:
def process_request(self, request):
"""Enters transaction management"""
transaction.enter_transaction_management()
transaction.managed(True)
def process_exception(self, request, exception):
"""Rolls back the database and leaves transaction management"""
if transaction.is_dirty():
transaction.rollback()
transaction.leave_transaction_management()
def process_response(self, request, response):
"""Commits and leaves transaction management."""
if transaction.is_managed():
if transaction.is_dirty():
transaction.commit()
transaction.leave_transaction_management()
return response
So in cmd line app you have to call
transaction.enter_transaction_management()
transaction.managed(True)
in initialization and
transaction.leave_transaction_management()
in the end. Not tested, but should work.
