19.7 The tg-admin Command
We've already seen the tg-admin command, but there's a lot more that it can do than just quickstart a new project, and even the quickstart option has some features we haven't touched upon yet. The core options of tg-admin are:
- quickstart—Creates a new directory based on the project and package names provided; has switches to use SQLAlchemy (-s) or use alternate project templates (-t tgbig)
- shell—Opens a new interactive shell with our model imported (When using SQLObject your database changes should autocommit)
- i18n—Internationalization is covered in depth in Chapter 20
- sql—Wraps around the SQLObject sql-admin command with your connection parameters pre-defined based on the information in your project's config file
- toolbox—Starts up the web-based Toolbox (You can use -n to not automatically open a browser window and -c to allow other specific IP addresses beyond the default localhost to connect to the Toolbox instance)
- info—Lists current versions of all installed TurboGears components
