Many to Many Relationships and Script Loading of Data

This folder and the scripts folder are part of the data loading exercise.

This folder contains the data model in models.py and the scripts folder contains the loading script many_load.py.

The Python code in the script is not just Python. It needs to load up all of Django so the code can access the data models and database. Python has an extension that makes it easier to run scripts after fully loadinfd Django as long as the extensions (see requirements.txt) are loaded.

Run the following command from the folder above this one (with manage.py):

python3 manage.py runscript many_load
