Django runserver in command with custom settings
django, python
Solution
`runserver` forces default settings unless passed `--settings=`. Use a separate WSGI container (or even the built-in one, brought up yourself) if you want custom settings.
Problem
I try to execute the runserver inside a command with custom settings. But the settings are not loaded: ``` from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand from django.core.management import call_command from django.core.management import setup_environ, ManagementUtility import settings_api setup_environ(settings_api) class Command(BaseCommand): help = "Local API to retrieve realtime quotes" def handle(self, *args, **options): if not settings_api.DEBUG: call_command('runserver', '127.0.0.1:8002') else: call_command('runserver', '0.0.0.0:8002') ``` Output is: ``` Used API settings Used API settings Validating models... 0 errors found Django version 1.4b1, using settings 'site.settings' Development server is running at http://0.0.0.0:8002/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C. ```
