Start django shell with a temporary database

Question

I want to fire up the django shell with a temporary database (like what's done when doing django tests)

Is there any command like:

python manage.py testshell

where I can create a bunch of bogus models without polluting my database?

Answer 1

Nevermind, this blog post explains it

>>> from django import test
>>> test.utils.setup_test_environment() # Setup the environment
>>> from django.db import connection
>>> db = connection.creation.create_test_db() # Create the test db
