Django shortcuts

You spend too much time typing python3 manage.py

The tool is already used by Uptrader team for more then a year

It's a fork of django-shortcuts by Johannes Gorset

Key improvements:

• Python 3 support (but no support for Python 2)
• config file for user-defined shortcuts
• support for python flags

Installation

$ pip3 install django-shts3

What problem does the helper script address

The tool allows much shorter commands when using Django's manage.py script

Raw command

python3 manage.py shell

Command with django-shts3 helper

d s

Unlike raw command, the helper script can be called from any project subdirectory, not only from project root.

Usage

PyPi package installs django and d binaries All arguments with - at the begining before command are threated as Python flags.

$ django <command or shortcut>

$ cd any/project/subdirectory
$ d <command or shortcut>

Default shortcuts

Configuration file

The program looks for .django_shts3 file in home directory and loads extra commands from it. They overwrite default commands. File format is:

alias @@@ command
m @@@ migrate

Example:

I have docker container with Django and I should bind to 0.0.0.0:8000 on runserver command, so I have:

$ cat ~/.django_shts3
r @@@ runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

That allows me to start Django server like:

$ d r

Or same thing, but with deprication warnings:

$ d -Wd r
