Access to app context / config / db models via python repl / jupyter notebook

[liangjh]

In the process of testing / development, I'd like to be able to access the database models / app config etc in a python REPL or jupyter notebook (i.e. with the database models initialized to the respective database and app config initialized to the correct configuration set). Is this possible with the existing framework? Can you provide a snippet on how to do this? Thanks -
