Title: Dumpscript management command
Project: Hardytools (queryset-refactor version)
Author: Will Hardy (http://willhardy.com.au)
Date: June 2008
Usage: python manage.py dumpscript appname > scripts/scriptname.py
$Revision: 217 $
Description:
Generates a Python script that will repopulate the database using objects.
The advantage of this approach is that it is easy to understand, and more
flexible than directly populating the database, or using XML.
* It also allows for new defaults to take effect and only transfers what is
needed.
* If a new database schema has a NEW ATTRIBUTE, it is simply not
populated (using a default value will make the transition smooth :)
* If a new database schema REMOVES AN ATTRIBUTE, it is simply ignored
and the data moves across safely (I'm assuming we don't want this
attribute anymore.
* Problems may only occur if there is a new model and is now a required
ForeignKey for an existing model. But this is easy to fix by editing the
populate script :)
Improvements:
See TODOs and FIXMEs scattered throughout :-)

dumpscript is now part of django-command-extensions :)

Nice one Will!

nice one. how about object and model cherry-picking? ;)
#
object and model cherry-picking?
But please no bug reports on this one :-P
#
Great script Will - thanks.
I found (and fixed) a bug against the latest trunk and have added model include and exclude options on the command line. Would you like a copy so you can choose whether to update your snippet and perhaps point out where what I've done screws everything up? ;) If so I'm on aj 'at' cubbyhole 'dot' net.

#
I'm relatively new to Django and am trying to get this script to work. Can somebody point me in a direction to running these types of scripts?
Thanks, Trent
#
Hi, sorry I haven't been checking these comments regularly. This script is now part of django-command-extensions or django-extensions at http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/ and will be maintained there. I'll backport it every once in a while for those that prefer snippets.
@tjurewicz you can add management commands by putting this script in a folder called "management/commands/" in any app you're writing. Don't forget to add "init.py" files to the new directories :-) Or you could just use the django-extensions app, which has done this for you.
#
Awesome but don't try this one with more than a handful of records unless you've got something beefy!
#
Doc for this now at: packages.python.org
