I’m trying to sync my database from a view like this:

from django import http
 from django.core import management

 def syncdb(request):
     management.call_command('syncdb')
     return http.HttpResponse('Database synced.')

The problem is that it will block the development server by asking for user input from the terminal. How can I prevent what is being asked of me via the ‘–noinput’ option?
