PyCrust Shell

I thought it would be a neat idea to use the PyCrust shell for interacting with my models, instead of using the plain old shell.

So what I did, is take a copy of the file:

django/core/management/commands/shell.py

Altered it, and saved it as:

django/core/management/commands/pycrust.py

For this to work, you should have pycrust installed (python-wxtools in ubuntu) and save this snippet as django/core/management/commands/pycrust.py, then run as follows:

./manage.py pycrust

instead of

./manage.py shell

Have fun!
