.. _howto-custom-management-commands:
Writing custom django-admin commands
====================================
.. versionadded:: 1.0
Applications can register their own actions with ``manage.py``. For example,
you might want to add a ``manage.py`` action for a Django app that you're
distributing.
To do this, just add a ``management/commands`` directory to your application.
Each Python module in that directory will be auto-discovered and registered as
a command that can be executed as an action when you run ``manage.py``::
blog/
__init__.py
models.py
management/
__init__.py
commands/
__init__.py
explode.py
views.py
In this example, the ``explode`` command will be made available to any project
that includes the ``blog`` application in ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``.
The ``explode.py`` module has only one requirement -- it must define a class
called ``Command`` that extends ``django.core.management.base.BaseCommand``.
For more details on how to define your own commands, look at the code for the
existing ``django-admin.py`` commands, in ``/django/core/management/commands``.
