Flask-Konch

An improved shell command for Flask

Flask-Konch adds an improved shell command, flask konch, to the Flask CLI.

Benefits of flask konch over flask shell

  • Uses IPython, BPython, or ptpython if available, and falls back to built-in interpreter

  • Automatically imports top-level Flask functions and classes by default

  • Define additional variables to include in the shell context

  • Configurable banner and prompt

Flask-Konch uses konch, a shell configuration utility, under the hood.

Get it now

pip install flask-konch

Usage

To run the shell:

export FLASK_APP=path/to/app.py
flask konch

To add additional variables to the shell context:

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.update({"KONCH_CONTEXT": {"db": database, "User": User}})
