Question

I wrote a function like

def cmd_run(host="localhost", port="8000"):
    """Run server at given host port (or localhost 8000)"""
    from django.core import management
    host_port = '%s:%s' % (host, port)
    management.call_command('runserver', host_port)

When I executed it, an Exception was thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/leona/workspace/bettyskitchen/lib/djangocliutils/bin/djangoctl", line 8, in <module> cli(*sys.argv[1:])
  File "/home/leona/workspace/bettyskitchen/lib/djangocliutils/cmds.py", line 119, in  __call__ 
print method(*args) or ""
  File "/home/leona/workspace/bettyskitchen/lib/djangocliutils/cmds.py", line 170, in __call__
    return self.method(*args, **kw)
  File "/home/leona/workspace/bettyskitchen/lib/djangocliutils/djangocmds/basic.py", line 19, in cmd_run
    management.call_command('runserver', host_port)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'call_command'

How can I fix it?

Well, here it works… maybe your version of django has not this function? Try it in managed shell python manage.py shell and try help(management) to see if it is there on your version.
Another possibility is corruption or modification of the __init__.py file (where call_command is defined) in django.core.management directory not importing the call_command function.
