python manage.py inspectdb
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py makemigrations
33
Why is python manage.py <command> commonly used after a Django project has been created instead of django-admin <command>?

manage.py automatically points commands to the project's settings
manage.py replaces the need for a Python interpreter

MIDDLEWARE so Django loads its models before processing every incoming HTTP request
models.py file to database.py

40

settings.py module
41 A Django view retrieves records through the ORM, renders them with a template, and returns an HTTP response. Which mapping most accurately describes Django's MTV architecture in this request?
42
Django was installed successfully with pip install django, but python -m django --version reports No module named django. Which diagnosis is most likely?
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE has been explicitly defined
startproject
django-admin, not as a Python module
pip installed Django for a different Python interpreter than the one invoked by python
43
A developer wants to guarantee that Django is installed into the currently activated virtual environment, even when multiple pip executables exist on PATH. Which command is the most reliable?
django-admin install Django
pip install Django --global
python django-admin install
python -m pip install Django
44
A Django project runs correctly from a terminal with its virtual environment activated, but the editor marks every django import as unresolved. What is the most appropriate correction?
sys.path
manage.py
45 A team is building an e-commerce site with independently reusable inventory, payment, and review functionality. Which design best follows Django's project-and-app model?
manage.py file
46 An app package exists inside a Django project and can be imported successfully, but Django does not discover its models during normal application loading. Which omission most directly explains this?
settings.py module
AppConfig is absent from INSTALLED_APPS
manage.py
47
After running django-admin startproject config, which file is intended primarily as the command-line entry point and normally sets DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE before delegating to Django?
config/urls.py
config/asgi.py
config/__init__.py
manage.py
48
A generated project's inner package is renamed from config to core, but no file contents are updated. Running python manage.py check now fails to import the settings module. Which reference must be updated to address this immediate failure?
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in manage.py from config.settings to core.settings
WSGI_APPLICATION in settings.py from config.wsgi to core.urls
BASE_DIR in settings.py from config to core
ROOT_URLCONF in settings.py from config.urls to core.settings
49
A developer is already inside an existing repository root and wants manage.py placed there while creating the project package as config/. Which command is appropriate?
django-admin startapp config .
python manage.py startproject config .
django-admin startproject . config
django-admin startproject config .
50
A directory already contains a file named manage.py. What should a developer expect when running django-admin startproject config . in that directory?
manage_1.py
config package
51
Why does python manage.py check usually work without a --settings argument, while a directly invoked django-admin check may require settings configuration?
django-admin searches exclusively for settings inside installed application packages
manage.py sets the project's default DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE before executing commands
django-admin supports only commands that do not depend on project settings
manage.py embeds all settings directly and never imports a settings module
52
A project has config/settings/dev.py and config/settings/prod.py, and no usable default settings module. Which command explicitly runs system checks with the development settings?
python manage.py check --settings=config.settings.dev
python manage.py check --settings=config/settings/dev.py
python manage.py --settings config.settings.dev check
python manage.py check --config=config.settings.dev
53
A developer changes a model class and immediately runs python manage.py migrate, but no database alteration occurs. Assuming the app is installed correctly, which missing action best explains the result?
python manage.py startapp to rebuild the application's model registry
python manage.py collectstatic to register the changed schema
python manage.py makemigrations to generate a migration first
python manage.py check to translate the model directly into SQL
54
A development server must accept connections from other machines on the local network using port 9000. Which command requests the required binding?
python manage.py runserver localhost:9000
python manage.py runserver --public 9000
python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:9000
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9000
55

models.py
apps.py
admin.py
tests.py
56
A migration file imports migrations and defines dependencies and operations but is never detected by Django. The filename is valid and the app is installed. Which structural problem is most likely?
migrations Python package
urls.py
admin.py module
models.py
57
A developer runs python manage.py startapp reports, sees the new package, and then runs makemigrations reports. Django responds that no installed app has the label reports. What is the most likely cause?
settings.py
manage.py
INSTALLED_APPS
ROOT_URLCONF
58
An app is stored at company/modules/billing, and its AppConfig.name is company.modules.billing. Which INSTALLED_APPS entry most explicitly selects that configuration class?
company.modules.billing.apps.Billing
company.modules.billing.apps.BillingConfig
company.modules.billing.BillingConfig
company.modules.billing.models.BillingConfig
59
A developer wants startapp to populate an already existing directory /srv/project/modules/audit. Which command has the correct argument structure?
django-admin startproject audit /srv/project/modules/audit
django-admin startapp audit /srv/project/modules/audit
django-admin startapp /srv/project/modules/audit audit
python manage.py createapp /srv/project/modules/audit audit
60 A deployment server needs a synchronous WSGI callable, while another server needs an asynchronous ASGI callable. Which generated modules expose these interfaces by default?
asgi.py exposes application for WSGI, and wsgi.py exposes application for ASGI
manage.py exposes wsgi_application, and urls.py exposes asgi_application
settings.py exposes both callables directly through INSTALLED_APPS
wsgi.py exposes application for WSGI, and asgi.py exposes application for ASGI
Did this save you a night before the exam?
LPU Notes is free, and it stays free. Ads cover part of the server bill. The rest comes out of a student's own pocket: the domain, the storage, and keeping the site up through the weeks everyone needs it at once.
The payment button didn't load. An ad blocker or a filtered network is the usual reason. to try again.
