Is there any initiative about creating a direct 'django' command?

I come from Rails, and I find very annoying having to all the time use the python manage.py…

I want to contribute to generate binstubs just like in rails. It’s really frustrating to type the whole python manage.py for every command when in Rails we just use rails directly.

Has anyone thought about this before? Is there any technical reason why we can’t have a simple django command that works the same way?

I’m willing to help implement this if others think it would be useful. Let me know what you think.

See the thread at Name the main command django

Personally, I make the manage.py file executable. (chmod +x manage.py) That allows me to run manage.py directly. (No python command.)

Naturally, I did that as well, but out of the box is different, right?
