Running a manage.py function from a crontab

Question

Doesn't seem to be the correct version of python. How can I ensure that I'm on the right PATH?

@daily python ~/webapps/django/myproj/manage.py update_index --settings=settings_prod

yields

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/myhome/webapps/django/myproj/manage.py", line 2, in ?
   from django.core.management import execute_manager
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

You can add your path using the environment variable PYTHONPATH.

You alos need to use the correct Python version and full paths.

So, the correct crontabline would be:

@daily PYTHONPATH=/home/username/webapps/django/lib/pythonX.Y /usr/local/bin/pythonX.Y ~/webapps/django/myproj/manage.py update_index --settings=settings_prod
