How to start Django programmatically

Question

Suppose I have a Django application (like myapp ) and a Python script (say myscript.py ) in the same directory. How could I start (and stop) the Django application from a script? Is there an object or function for this? Or should I use a subprocess trick?

Answer 1

Use django.core.management.call_command .

For instance:

 from django.core import management management.call_command('runserver')
