Scripts

Writing your own scripts

You can write stand-alone scripts to add or modify objects in the database without adding to the OpenL2M code base. Look in the /scripts directory for an example.py script.

You can also extend the command line capability of OpenL2M by writing Django Admin Commands. See openl2m/switches/management/commands/import_csv.py for the implementation of the “import_csv” admin command.

Finally, you can use the Django admin shell to do “inline scripting”:

python3 manage.py shell
