Questions tagged [manage.py]

`manage.py` is a command-line utility for Django's administrative tasks. It is an automatically created thin wrapper around `django-admin.py`.

manage.py is similar to django-admin but it does some extra tasks like putting your project's package on sys.path and sets the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable so that it points to your project’s settings.py file.

Usage

manage.py <command> [options]
