$VENV/bin/pserve --reload development.ini

There are several scripts used for managing ingesting data into the database. These scripts can be found in <this directory>/budget/scripts.

Most of them can be run from the command line using this syntax:

python -m 'budget.scripts.<module name>' /path/to/development.ini

There are also some shell scripts in <this directory>/cron aimed at enabling scheduled automatic data ingestion via cron.
