Description
According to the documentation here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#dumpdata-appname-appname-appname-model ,
dumpdata "Outputs to standard output all data in the database associated with the named application(s)." However, it looks like it actually outputs to stderr, not stdout. Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4368318/cannot-pipe-output-from-python-command
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Reviewing the code history for the dumpdata management command and the base command in general shows the output of the commands (the value returned from the handle method()) is sent explicitly to stdout.
Additionally, just tested this with the same manage.py invocation used by the OP of the SO discussion and Django 1.2.3. The JSON output is correctly sent to stdout.
Perhaps there is any additional detail about the environment where these tests were made?
