Answer 1

So your question is :

I want to use Django's ORM in my scripts without running a complete Django application, how to configure it?

I'll share what I did for a project I am currently working on, using Django 2.0.2.

I suggest you create a file SetupDjangoORM.pywith :

import django
from django.conf import settings

settings.configure(
    DATABASES={
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': '',
            'NAME': '',
            'HOST': '',
            'PORT': '',
            'USER': '',
            'PASSWORD': '',   
        }
    },
    INSTALLED_APPS=[
        '',
    ]
)
django.setup()

You can find this informations in your settings.py file.

Then, you can import this wherever you need :

from . import SetupDjangoORM

And now you are able to use Django Models (ORM) in your scripts.
