I think this is a practically useful feature, but it's pretty far afield for a web framework, IMO [1]. Ideally it could be handled by convenience shells such as IPython without needing to add anything new to "manage.py shell". I know that in older versions of IPython auto-imports could be easily done with an ipy_user_conf.py file in the same directory as manage.py; since "manage.py shell" runs IPython if installed, that solves the problem. I think the customization system has changed in newer IPython versions and I haven't looked into how to do it now - but that still seems to me like basically the right approach. Carl [1] Of course, the same could be said for "manage.py shell" itself, which, in Django 1.4 at least, is little more than a shortcut for setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and running a python shell. I'd love to see "manage.py shell" disappear entirely from Django someday. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
