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.
