Answer 1

First of all, no need to do a ./manage.py runserver until your models are in place.

Second, clear the database/rebuild the database should be done after fixing the code, and can be done in one fell swoop with ./manage.py reset perforce

Third, the things that you are typing out in the shell each time (import models, try creating an object) should be written in a test suite instead. Then you can do ./manage.py test perforce instead of firing up the shell and typing it again. Actually, if you're using the test suite, you won't need to, because it will create a clean dummy db each time, and break it down for you when it's done.

Fourth, Instead of "PRAY...", try "Watch tests pass."
