Using the Django ORM outside of the web framework

db.py

# I was able to just put this module alongside `models.py` and use `myapp.db.FooTable(**kwargs).save()` etc outside
# of the web framework. With no issues, so far.

import django
from .settings import *
from django.conf import settings

settings.configure(DATABASES=DATABASES)
django.setup()

from .models import *
