Comment (by minrk):
Does the previous code actually not work, or is this purely prompted by
the IPython docs?
A few points:
1. You don't have to handle any fallbacks, there have been no releases of
IPython without IPShell, and both `TerminalInteractiveShell` and embed()
are introduced in 0.11, to be released this week. 0.11 is a major
reorganization of IPython, so some imports were in flux early on, but
these have not changed in a year.
2. embed() is for invoking a special `InteractiveShell` that uses the
calling scope to initialize the user namespace (i.e. `self` will be
defined if you use it as proposed here). Is that what you want? embed() is
typically used in debugging, as it lets you have a full IPython shell at
breakpoints.
3. `manage.py shell` appears to work just fine with IPython master today
(to be 0.11 final very soon) and django release 1.3, but I'm not familiar
with how IPython is supposed to be different than usual when invoked by
django, so maybe that's not accurate.
The only change that should probably be made is that
`TerminalInteractiveShell` should be imported from
`IPython.frontend.terminal.interactiveshell` (where it's always been
defined), not `IPython.frontend.terminal.embed`, which just happens to
also import it.
