Question

In django, can you load a django app into the python interpreter like in rails?

i.e. does django have: irb

?

Answer 1

you mean python manage.py shell ?

Answer 2

If you want to have a more powerful Python shell to use with Django, you can look at IPython. Just install it and the python manage.py shell will use ipython instead of the default one.

Check the IPython website to see the interesting features it brings.
