""" 38. User-registered management commands The ``manage.py`` utility provides a number of useful commands for managing a Django project. If you want to add a utility command of your own, you can. The user-defined command ``dance`` is defined in the management/commands subdirectory of this test application. It is a simple command that responds with a printed message when invoked. For more details on how to define your own ``manage.py`` commands, look at the ``django.core.management.commands`` directory. This directory contains the definitions for the base Django ``manage.py`` commands.
