If you are calling this from, for example, crontab note that each line in crontab is executed in its own subshell, so you have the choice of setting PYTHONPATH, or (my personal favorite because it works with so many kinds of scripts) you can cd to the project directory and execute the script as ./manage.py custom, by separating the cd and ./manage.py with a semicolon. Too, if you are doing this from a bash (or sh or, probably, csh) script, commands run inside parentheses run in a sub shell, so you can do the cd, semi, manage trick, and when the subshell exits, the rest of your script is still running in its original directory. Finally, if this is a command line utility that you want to run from wherever and just have on the path, create a sh (or bash) script that cd's and runs it instead, and put that on the path. This last works on windows too, using bat files (or whatever the cmd.exe equivalent is).
