[IPython-User] Running profile startup files in an embedded IPython instance

[Kevin Tran]

I want to use an embedded IPython shell with a user_ns dictionary and a my profile configuration (ipython_config.py and the startup files). The purpose is to run a Django shell with models imported on startup. django-extensions implements a command called shell_plus that does this:


https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/blob/master/django_extensions/management/commands/shell_plus.py

    from IPython import embed
    embed(user_ns=imported_objects)

The problem is that this does not load my startup files. embed() calls load_default_config() which I figure loads ipython_config.py. 

How do I make the embedded IPython instance run my profile startup files?
