Recoll: https://www.recoll.org/
I would like to use Recoll to index my Django website.
Indexing pdf, html, … files is not a problem and using the python interface from inside Django is not a problem.
But I would like to index Django objects which are stored in the database and only in it. So, following the Recoll documentation I must write a python script which should not be a problem. But, this script is launched by /usr/bin/recollindex : actually, irecollindex triggers my script but, as I must do something like:
from MyApp.models import *
it cannot find MyApp.
I do not know any way to do this: /usr/bin/recollindex cannot -as far as I know- find Django applications. Does anybody did something like this ?
Thanks !

If you’re needing to write a script that relies upon the Django environment (specifically the ORM in this case), then you should probably write it as a custom management command. (It’s not the only way to do it, but it’s the easiest in my opinion.)
But, there’s nothing saying that you must use the ORM for this. (I don’t know Recoll, so I don’t know if there’s any benefit to using the ORM for this purpose.) You could access the database tables directly if that’s easier.

You are true, accessing the db directly is easy.
