How to use short_command_name -args instead of python program_name -args in powershell?

Question

I'd like to write a simple bash script to write in powershell

p args

instead of

python manage.py args

but i have no experience in bash. Can you help me?

This is a bit unclear as written. Are you using the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) or PowerShell (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe)? — briantist

PowerShell aliases can't play with parameters, they just alias one name to another. But you can write it as a function:

function p {
   & python manage.py $args
}
