A simple Tryton shell environment that initializes one database and config file for you. I intend to use to interact with models.

tryton_shell

#!/bin/env python

""" tryton_shell: A dirty shell for Tryton to quickly interact with it

    usage: tryton_shell.py [-h] --config CONFIG --database DATABASE

    arguments:
      --config CONFIG      Tryton config file.
      --database DATABASE  Tryton database.


    Currently we just load the config and setup pool for one database. The
    interactive shell namespace is untouched (almost), so the packages will
    have to be imported manually.

    Two globals are added to namespace.

        __tryton_database: Name of the tryton database initialized in pool
        __tryton_admin   : ID of admin user
