django-manage.py

When I run manage.py shell on my Django project to take a peek at something there are common imports that I always want to run at the start of the shell (e.g. I always want to import my model files.) How can I have these run automatically everytime I run the shell command? 2nd related question, when I hit the up arrow I get the "^A" character instead of the previously run command in the manage.py shell (and in my regular python shell), how can I fix this so it loads the previous command like on the Linux/Unix command line?

I seem to have run into a strange bug or more likely some setting I am unfamiliar with on my system that is not allowing me to tab when I am in Django's shell ( python manage.py shell is how I run it).

I want to make the Django development server do something before it starts running. To do this, I created a new app, added it to the top of INSTALLED_APPS , and then created a management/commands/runserver.py file in the app with the following code: from django.contrib.staticfiles.management.commands.runserver import Command as RunserverCommand class Command(RunserverCommand): def run(self, *args, **options): self.stdout.write('About to start running on ' + self.addr) super(Command, self).run(*args, **options) (The thing I actually want to do is more complicated than writing one line to stdout
