Get the path to Django itself

Question

I have code that runs for every (almost) every administrator request, but does not have access to the request object.

I need to find a way to install Django. I could do:

import django
django_path = django.__file__

but it seems rather wasteful in the middle of the request.

Does import introduce memory modules at the beginning of the memory? I am sure there is no obvious trick here.

Answer 1

As long as Django was already imported in the Python process (which it has, if your code is, for example, in the view function), importing it again will not do anything * so go nuts, use import django; django.__file__.

, Django Python (, os.system("myscript.py") myscript.py Django), import django . ... , , , import myscript.

*: ... "".
