Hello

I have just made my first django site for my uncles wedding photos. It
is very simple, just photos and tags, with a ManyToMany relationship.
I have only made views for viewing the photos and am using the django
admin system for uploading and tagging.

I am wondering what is the best way to add scripts to do
administrative tasks, that dont need to be triggerable by a URL.

For example, a decided that the settings i had used to make the
thumbnails where to low, and wanted to rerun the thumbnailing on each
photo. I did this by making a function in views.py that did the
looping through and resizing. Then adding a URL, and visiting it.

This seemed like a rather kludgy method.

I have a few other tasks that i might want to do. extract the date
from the photos EXIF data, and put it in a field in the database (i
already have the field).

also i think i could save some time if it could scp a bunch of photos
to a folder on my server, and add them into the database with a single
command.

So is there a recommended method of doing this soft of thing?

Thanks

Sam
