Django terminal

I’m developing web-applications on Django with IDE but running Django-server and working in Django-shell and with a database I prefer in the terminal. To speed up the start of it, I wrote a script that launches gnome-terminal with four tabs that runs ./manage.py runserver, ./manage.py shell, ./manage.py dbshell и bash.

#!/bin/bash

###

#

# Run a django manage.py subcommands in a gnome-terminal tabs.

# To switch to a tab after terminal launch install xdotool.

#

###

BASH=/bin/bash

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python

GNOME_TERMINAL=/usr/bin/gnome-terminal

XDOTOOL=/usr/bin/xdotool

# config

WORK_DIR=/path/to/your/project/on/django

MANAGE_SUBCOMMANDS="runserver shell dbshell"

SWITCH_TO_TAB=2

${PYTHON} -c """

import subprocess

terminal = ['${GNOME_TERMINAL}']

for cmd in '${MANAGE_SUBCOMMANDS}'.split():

  terminal.extend(['--tab', '-e', '''

      ${BASH} -c '

          cd ${WORK_DIR}

          ./manage.py {cmd}

          read

      '

      '''.format(cmd=cmd)])

terminal.extend(['--tab', '-e', '''

  ${BASH} -c '

      cd ${WORK_DIR}

      [ -x ${XDOTOOL} ] && ${XDOTOOL} key alt+${SWITCH_TO_TAB}

      ${BASH}

      read

  '

  '''])

subprocess.call(terminal)

"""

To configure this script set the variables:
WORK_DIR: the path to your Django-project;
MANAGE_SUBCOMMANDS: manage.py commands to run in the tabs;
SWITCH_TO_TAB: switch to the tab after running the terminal (you need to install xdotool).
