We also made it easy to use your developed application as command line script. This is done through creating a request object in a script, and use that request as how you would use in a view. This API is provided so that you can easily build automation scripts using data stored in your application, without having to maintain separate mechanism to connect to data and manipulate it.
When a request is instantiated, it will also establish the necessary scaffolding and connection to databases, and when you close a request, data will be committed and connection would be closed.
To instantiate a request object, you may use the following example
_code/make_request.py
Settings provided to request_factory will inherit the default settings, so you are not required to provide all options.
