title: Calling a view from a management command
body: <p>So I have added a command to manage.py in my django app that basically takes the results from a view and emails them out to specific users.  This command will run on a cron schedule - basically this is done as an automated, emailed report.</p>
  
  <p>I've figured out how to add in the command but I want to call the view now.  The problem is that I have no HttpRequest object and whenever I read the django docs on HttpRequest, my eyes glaze over and I struggle to follow it.  I'm not sure exactly how to create an HttpRequest object that will satisfy my needs nor if there's another way to get this done.  I also tried passing 'None' in as the request object but that didn't lead anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>Help?</p>
