Environment

Name	Required	Notes
DJANGO_CHAINSAW_PROJECT_PATH	Yes	Absolute path to the Django project to analyse - the directory containing manage.py, or whichever directory the settings module is importable from. This server must run in an interpreter that can import that project, so install it into the project's own environment rather than an isolated one.
DJANGO_CHAINSAW_SETTINGS_MODULE	Yes	Dotted path to the settings module, for example myproject.settings. Point it at the settings the site actually runs on: a base or partial module can import cleanly and load no models, and the server says so when that happens.
