Okay, I'm guessing a Python reload would indeed help, as I've managed
to get the Python debugger to find mysite.drpack.views by forcing the
paths into sys.path:
>>> sys.path.append('/my/new/path')
...rather than via the symlink method. Seems like this doesn't alter
the sys.path permanently, though, as the paths I append evaporate a
bit later when I leave IDLE & re-check sys.path....?
NOW, the problem is I'm getting:
EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is
undefined (more fully:
from mysite.drpack.models import PubMedSummary
File "/home/jason/killdjangokill/mysite/../mysite/drpack/
models.py", line 1, in <module>
from django.db import models
#so the module's
importing okay when I append it to the sys.path
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/db/
__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
if not settings.DATABASE_ENGINE:
#but django.db is
failing to import the settings.py, also on sys.path?
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/conf/
__init__.py", line 28, in __getattr__
self._import_settings()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/conf/
__init__.py", line 55, in _import_settings
raise EnvironmentError, "Environment variable %s is undefined."
% ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE
EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is
undefined.
)
After doing some research, it seems that manually configuring
settings at runtime might help:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/settings/#using-settings-
without-setting-django-settings-module
But I'd really rather that Python, & consequently the Python
debugger, just import all my django paths & settings & have done w/it--
Clearly no idea what I'm doing here, thanks for folks' patience!
