Command-line options to IPython *scripts*?

Question

I am often asked to debug Python scripts written by others. I would like to send these scripts to IPython so it will drop into an IPython shell at the point the script fail

Answer 1

I know there's an already accepted solution, but in the most recent version of ipython this won't work. Here's a cut and paste of the command I use to run tornado tests with --autoreload

ipython --c="%run test.py --autoreload"

This is using ipython .11.
