Subject: run-python in progmodes/python.el hardcodes interpreter args

Hi!

python.el hardcodes the arguments passed to the Python shell in
run-python on line 1555.

Suggested fix: use python-which-args which is defined in python.el
(without documentation by the way).


My problem: I'm trying to make the built-in Python repl work with
Django (Ruby on Rails clone that's very popular in the Python
community). With Django, you can get a shell by running

python manage.py shell

in the root of a project. It does some magic to setup things
correctly. So I've written a small snippet to locate the manage.py
file and use the above command if found, but this is completely
defeated because run-python insists on appending -i which the
manage.py script doesn't recognize.

Hi,

I still think it's a bug, but even when I fix it, I can't get my
particular use case to work anyway. It turns out to be easier to
replicate what "python manage.py shell" is doing inside Emacs by
setting a couple of environment variables.

So you might want to close the bug again. Sorry.
