In django, how do I call the subcommand 'syncdb' from the initialization script?

Question

I\'m new to python and django, and when following the Django Book I learned about the command \'python manage.py syncdb\' which generated database tables for me. In developm

Answer 1

You could create a new script that you call instead of manage.py that calls manage.py:

from subprocess import call
call(["python", "manage.py", "syncdb"])
call(["python", "manage.py", "runserver"])

If you don't need to add an admin you could change the second line like this:

call(["python", "manage.py", "syncdb", "--noinput"])

I'm assuming that what you're trying to do is create your db and then start your server with one command every time.
