I knew this would happen as soon as I hit submit to make a fool of
myself.

So I tried to use:
manage.py custom_command_name --pythonpath='/path/to/my/project'

but that had not worked either. The real path to the project is:

/home/webdev/django/fls

but I failed to put in:

manage.py custom_command_name --pythonpath='/home/webdev/django'

seems to have done the trick. As I said, I'm fairly new to Django and
Python. I understand why I was wrong. Thanks for reading anyway!
