Question

I tried

echo "print 'hello'" | ipython

Which runs the command but ipython immediately exits afterwards.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit:
I actually need to pass the command into the interactive Django shell, e.g.:

echo "print 'hello'" | python manage.py shell

so the -i switch gimel suggested doesn’t seem to work (the shell still exits after execution)

Try using the ipy_user_conf.py inside your ~/.ipython
