mail2script with Django

Question

Hi,

I am trying to setup mail2script work with Django. My test script works but when I try to use Django models in script I get ImportError: No module named django.contrib.auth.models.

I think I have to somehow add Django to path in the script or something but couldn make it work yet.

This is how I have tried it.

PROJECT_ROOT = '/home/my_user/webapps/django/myproject'
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = '/home/my_user/webapps/django/myproject/settings_prod'

def setup_django():
    sys.path.append('/home/my_user/lib/python2.6/django')
    sys.path.append(PROJECT_ROOT)
    keys = os.environ.keys()
    from re import search
    for key in keys:
        if not search('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', key):
            os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

Any help?

It appears that the script specified in your Control Panel email configuration does not exist (that is; the path is entered incorrectly).

Also, you are explicitly adding '/home/my_user/lib/python2.6/django' to sys.path, which does not allow the importing of "django.contrib.auth.models", but instead "contrib.auth.models". To fix this, you will probably want to remain with the standard '/home/my_user/lib/python2.6' so as not to include the contents of the django module, but rather the module itself.

thanks ryans! There was typo in email configuration, thanks for pointing it out. Now it worked when I specified the path like you proposed. Thanks a lot!

You should try setting the path at the begging of the script.

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/username/webapps/django/lib/python2.6/site-packages/')
