A better "manage.py shell" with syntax highlighting and multiline editing.

[Jonathan S]

Hi all,

Two weeks ago I released the python-prompt-toolkit library with the "ptpython" REPL. That is a nice python interactive shell with decent multiline editing, syntax highlighting and autocompletion.
For a list of all the features, see: http://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit

Now django-extensions its "shell_plus" is supporting this as a front-end.

Do:

    pip install -U django-extensions

    pip install -U prompt-toolkit

then add 'django_extensions' to your INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings.

If you run "django manage.py shell_plus", then you'll get your new shell.

If you love IPython and you have IPython installed, then this should automatically use IPython as the back-end.

Prompt-toolkit is still beta, but already used by many people, and it should feel stable, if you experience any issues, please report at github:

http://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit

Feature requests are very welcome.

Enjoy!

Jonathan
