Unknown Command "syncdb" when calling from an external exe file made by pyinstaller

Question

I have a folder named db

db
------ __init__.py
------ dbobject.py
------ models.py
------ settings.py

inside __init__.py

from django.conf import settings

def syncdb():
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "db.settings")
    from django.core.management import call_command
    call_command('syncdb', interactive=False)

Then i had installed this db folder using python distutils in site-packages.

Now i am having another folder named cron contains:

main.py
settings.py

settings.py

from db import syncdb
syncdb()

Here it works.

Then made an executable of main.py

After running main.exe it gives me error:

django.core.management.CommandError: Unknown Command: 'syncdb'

syncdb maybe should run in project folder,so try to include all files togother in main.exe — WeizhongTu, Apr 08 '14 at 16:07

Try changing the working dir to your project folder before running your syncdb function:

import os
from db import syncdb

os.chdir(path_to_your_project) # Change working dir.
syncdb()
