Can't override settings with environment variables in Django 1.5

[Łukasz Czyżykowski]

In Django 1.5 the code which monkey-patches django.core.management.ManagementUtility and which is located at the end of django_configglue/management/__init__.py is not run. That's because of the change in which manage.py file is constructed and the order of loading custom management commands.

Because of that schemaconfigglue, which uses shell environment for options, is never run, and there's no way for overriding settings that way.

To fix it temporarily, one have to import django_configglue.management module before Django code (see https://code.launchpad.net/~lukasz-czyzykowski/canonical-identity-provider/fix-managementutility-problem/+merge/163866).

Proper fix will probably require moving the monkey-patching code to a module which is run before Django gets to execute code from its django.core.management module. Probably running it from settings.py should be enough.

[Ricardo Kirkner (ricardokirkner)]

The better fix is to make this explicit and to avoid any magic monkeypatching.

In the manage.py command, replace

from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

for

from django_configglue.management import execute_from_command_line
