I'm tired of typing manage.py startserver 10.211.55.4:4000, so decided to make an alias for that. Only thing is: the port sometime changes. So I did this in bash profile:

function runserver() {

   python manage.py runserver 10.211.55.4:$1

}

But then when I call it: runserver 3000, it starts it, but immediately stops saying:

"Error: That IP address can't be assigned-to". However if I type the same thing right into command line it works with no complains.

Along the lines of your original attempt, you could adjust that function to the following:

function runserver() {

    python manage.py runserver 10.211.55.4:$PORT

}

and then call it like so:

PORT=3000 runserver
