Answer 1

I found the django-extensions package to be most useful. You can find it here

After installation and adding it to the installed apps, all you need to do is to create a directory called scripts, create a file and run it by python manage.py runscript file_name

Just remember that the file must have an entry point. That entry point is a method called run which has to be present and will run once you run python manage.py runscript file_name in the terminal
