An improved shell command for Flask
===================================
Flask-Konch adds an improved shell command, ``flask konch``, to the `Flask CLI <http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.11/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 <https://github.com/sloria/konch>`_, a shell configuration utility, under the hood.
