[FIXED] using profiles in iPython and Django

Issue

I've got a Django product I'm using iPython to interact with.

I'm trying to have modules automatically loaded when I start a shell:

python manage.py shell

I've copied .ipython/ipythonrc to the root directory of the project and added to the file:

import_some module_name model1 model2

However, when I start the shell, these names are not being loaded.

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

I don't know about ipythonrc, but if you only need the models, you could use django-extensions. After you install it, you've got a plethora of new managment commands, including shell_plus, which will open a ipython session and autoload all your models:

python manage.py shell_plus
