Description
The attached patch adds a 'runscript' action to management.py that takes a script path as its sole argument.
This is intended to make running maintenance scripts more convenient, and require less repetition (as DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE need not be set if used from manage.py)

Although this patch has the same motivation, I don't think it's a duplicate of #2406, as the implementations are very different. This one is just a convenience for running a python script within a Django project in the same way that 'manage.py shell' is a convenience for starting an interactive shell in a Django project.

manage.py isn't magic - it does an import settings, then calls the management module (open up manage.py if you want proof). Do the same on your script, and it will behave the same as manage.py.
Duplicate of #2406.
