Using

Create a Python package anywhere in your application.

For example, the package commands and the entry point manager.py

.
├── commands
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── my_first_command.py
├── src
└── manager.py

In manage.py add the following:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import logging.config # Optional for logging
    from command_manager import Manager

    LOGGING = { # Optional for logging
        'version': 1,
        'disable_existing_loggers': False,
        'formatters': {
            'verbose': {
                'format': '%(levelname)s | %(asctime)s | %(module)s | %(message)s'
            }
        },
        'handlers': {
            'commands_handler': {
                'level': 'INFO',
                'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
                'formatter': 'verbose',
                'filename': os.path.join("logs", 'commands.log'),
                'maxBytes': 100000,
                'backupCount': 10,
            }
        },
        'loggers': {
            'commands.my_first_command': {
                'handlers': ['commands_handler'],
                'level': 'INFO',
                'propagate': False
            }
        },
    }

    logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING) # Optional for logging
    manager = Manager(["commands"])
    manager.run()

In my_first_command.py add the following:

from command_manager.commands import BaseCommand


class Command(BaseCommand):

    description = "Simple command"

    def add_arguments(self, parser):
        parser.add_argument("--arg1", help="argument arg1")
        parser.add_argument("--arg2", help="argument arg2")

    def handle(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.logger.info("START")
        print "Hello Word: arg1={arg1} arg2={arg2}".format(**kwargs)
        self.logger.info("END")

Warning: The class must be called the Command and inherited from BaseCommand

Now call manage.py from the console.

Call our command my_first_command.py
