using profiles in iPython and Django

Question

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?

Accepted Answer

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
```
