How do I disable IPython when opening a Django shell

Question

If it is a multi-user environment and uninstall IPython is not an option, how would you go about launching a Django shell without IPython.

Answer 1

Passing --plain will tell Django to not look for IPython.

Answer 2

As of Django 1.10 the --plain flag is deprecated, instead you should use -i flag to choose from available interactive shells {ipython,bpython,python}

./manage.py shell -i python
