manage.py shell, dbshell funtionality

[Sanha]

manage.py testserver is good funtion to test and develop application.

it recreate database 'test_' + database name.

when using testserver manage.py shell or manage.py dbshell connect original database.

I think that some option is useful to connect 'test_' + database at this time.

But, I can't find option like that.

[Sanha]

for example these is useful to test.

manage.py testshell
manage.py testdbshell
}}

For now you can use testshell command that I just assembled:

Seems like a reasonable idea.

[Adam Vandenberg]

Separate commands, or "--test" parameter to existing commands? Perhaps the separate "test*" commands are less error-prone.

New command which creates test database instead of real database when running interactive shell

[Aymeric Augustin]

I can't see under which circumstances this command would be useful.

[sjl@…]

It is useful to explore fixtures in the interactive shell, otherwise you are reduced to printf-style debugging in the test case.

[Aymeric Augustin]

You can use pdb in tests.

I agree with Aymeric (aaugustin), that this doesn't seem very necessary. Please use the snippet if you need it.
