"shell" command should accept arguments

[tomvons@…]

For the sake of making utility scripts easy to run (without having to fuss with PYTHONPATH), it would be nice if "manage.py shell" would accept arguments in the same way as running "python"

eg:

./manage.py shell import-sample-data.py

Currently this just outputs "Error: Command doesn't accept any arguments" (though "./manage.py shell --version" works)

An alternative would be to provide something more explicit, like "./manage.py runscript"

Seems this has come up before and there isn't much interest in doing it. Closing it.
