RE: How to run a file.py in the django environement

It was explained very clearly to me, I believe by shawn, but I've lost the original reference. If the file you want to run is in your django app directory you just need

import datetime, sys, os, logging
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'YourDirectoryThatContainsTheSettingsModule.settings'

If it's running elsewhere you'll need to do more with path manipulation, but I did not pursue that.

I also created an option for >python manage.py myoption but I had to copy that into django.core to get it to work due to my lack of knowledge and I got the above working before putting more effort into alternatives.

how about turning filename.py into a django command?
