This project uses modularized settings (to keep sensitive information out of version control or to be able to use the same code for development and production). Therefore you'll have to append a --settings parameter pointing to the settings file you'd like to run the code with to all manage.py commands. For example, run python manage.py makemigrations --settings=daacda.settings.dev.

Upload Data

To import data, you have to execute the ipython script import_data.ipynb.

1. Start a new ipython session python manage.py shell_plus --notebook --settings=daacda.settings.dev_custom.
2. Execute the script cell by cell.
