Add make import target and improve virtualenv docs#52
Merged
Conversation
- Add `make import PATH=…` Makefile target as a friendlier entry point to `manage.py process_images` for users unfamiliar with virtualenvs - Update README quick-start sequence to setup → import → run, removing `make update` (which has its own section) and the now-redundant prose about sequential processing - Replace bare `python manage.py process_images` with `make import PATH=…` throughout README - Add "Running commands" section to docs/management_commands.md explaining how to use `.venv/bin/python` or activate the virtualenv before running any management command - Restore `process_images` as the documented command in docs/management_commands.md and remove the deleted `process_images_sync` entry Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #51
What
A user reported that running
python manage.py process_imageswas confusing because the virtualenv isn't activated by default, making it non-obvious that.venv/bin/pythonis needed. This PR makes importing images a first-classmaketarget and improves the docs for users unfamiliar with virtualenvs.Changes
Makefile— addmake import PATH=…target, which wrapsmanage.py process_imagesusing the project's own.venv/bin/python. It also appears inmake help.README.md— reorder the lite install quick-start to the logical sequence: setup → import → run. Replace all references to barepython manage.py process_imageswithmake import PATH=….docs/management_commands.md— add a "Running commands" section at the top explaining how to use.venv/bin/pythonor activate the virtualenv before running any management command. Remove the defunctprocess_images_syncentry.
