Although Django's web side is nice, and I like the "free" Admin
interface, what I really want to use Django for is its data model ORM
and resulting "free" API. I want to use this to build a stand-alone
Python application, using wxWidget for more sophisticated UI than I
can get on a web page. I've built my model, got a slightly tweaked
Admin web interface working and now I'm trying to write my first
prototype application in Python.
I must be missing some "Django magic" because here's what I get when I
run a trivial program:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\_Dev_\_Experiments_\Test Management System\TDtoTMS.py",
line 18, in ?
import myTMS.TestRepo.models as myTMS
# The Django model for myTMS
File "C:\_Dev_\_Experiments_\Test Management System\myTMS\TestRepo
\models.py", line 1, in ?
from django.db import models
File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\db\__init__.py", line 7,
in ?
if not settings.DATABASE_ENGINE:
File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line
28, in __getattr__
self._import_settings()
File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line
53, in _import_settings
raise EnvironmentError, "Environment variable %s is undefined." %
ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE
EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is
undefined.
Another thing I haven't yet figured out is how to make my stand-alone
application use Django's nice user/group permissions scheme. All the
examples I've seen indicate that no login or authentication is
necessary to use the API.
Any assistance with either of these items, including pointers to
examples and documentation, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin
