Re: how to use Django ORM in standalone script

I would:

1. Write the script as a manage.py command.
2. Duplicate the Django install on the other machine (or at least
enough of it to cover the models that you need), making any settings
changes needed to access the correct DB (i.e.; if you're using
"localhost" to access the DB in your original server, that's got to
change on the other).

The server never needs to run on the second machine, and it doesn't
need apache, mod_wsgi, or whatever mechanism you are using to serve
pages on the first machine. But the ORM needs access to the model
definitions of the relevant apps, and it will typically be easier to
pull the whole thing than to tease out just enough. If your project
is in a suitable VCS, that is a good way to make the copy.
