Run shell_plus through PyCharm?

Question

Is there a way for me to configure PyCharm to run shell_plus instead of the default shell?

I\'ve tried putting the text of the manage command in the \'Starting scr

Answer 1

I got the model objects auto-loading by hooking into the shell_plus code. I appended this to the default startup script in Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Console > Django Console:

from django_extensions.management import shells
from django.core.management.color import color_style
imported_items = shells.import_objects({}, color_style())
for k, v in imported_items.items():
    globals()[k] = v

This was on PyCharm 2018.3.3 Pro

For completeness, this was the full content of starting script:

import sys; print('Python %s on %s' % (sys.version, sys.platform))
import django; print('Django %s' % django.get_version())
sys.path.extend([WORKING_DIR_AND_PYTHON_PATHS])
if 'setup' in dir(django): django.setup()
import django_manage_shell; django_manage_shell.run(PROJECT_ROOT)

from django_extensions.management import shells
from django.core.management.color import color_style
imported_items = shells.import_objects({}, color_style())
for k, v in imported_items.items():
    globals()[k] = v
