`client` not present in the scope of the interpreter invoked by doing `python manage.py mmclient`

[Ankush Sharma]

While following up the docs of postorius here http://postorius.readthedocs.org/en/latest/development.html#accessing-the-mailman-api ; it has been mentioned that we can use the so called mailman's REST api `client` in the interpreter invoked by the command 'python manage.py mmclient`. The interpreter invocation works fine. But, in case of absence of IPython on the machine the `client` is not present in the scope of the invoked normal python shell. That is, the following error:

$ python manage.py mmclient
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)

>>> client
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'client' is not defined

This bug is due to the fact that the `client` is not added to the `globals()` dictionary before passing it to `shell = code.InteractiveConsole(globals())` in line 44 of file http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/postorius/trunk/view/head:/src/postorius/management/commands/mmclient.py .

I got this bug and as suggested in the description, after adding the client to the globals, things worked fine.
