Hi Manav This is the kind of thing that we'd want to see in a third party package before even considering it for core django
An existing implementation of a Python shell in the browser for Django exists in the runserver_plus command of django-extensions: https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/runserver_plus.html . This is actually pulling the shell feature from a separate project, werkzeug. This is intended for local debugging though and should NOT be used in any kind of production environment. 3. the shell instance would be user-specific as per the permissions of the > respective user. How do you propose to implement this? If you give someone the full power of Python, they can subvert any code you put in place to enforce permissions (or read only, etc.). They could run python code that deletes all the files on the server, or starts a bitcoin miner. This is such a high security risk that I don't think we could put it in Django.
