How do I unload (reload

Answer 1

From the answers of Seti Volkylany and pv

1. Install IPython: pip install ipython
2. Run python manage.py shell : the symbol at the beginning of a line should now be In [1]: (in cmd it was >>>)
3. Run ipython profile create

4. Go in ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py and open it in a text editor and add these two lines at the end:

   c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = ['autoreload']
   c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = ['%autoreload 2']

You can now run python manage.py shell, edit your models without having to write %autoreload 2
