I think the command broke again with the change in how arguments work in django commands.

Basically the positional arguments are not working anymore. Looking at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/custom-management-commands/ the fix should be pretty trivial.

I hope somebody has a few minutes time to create a pull request fixing the positional arguments and a test in the test suite which tests the examples that are given in the documentation: https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/print_settings.html
