Hi all,
I have some questions about the shell I get from manage.py shell:
When i run that command, I get IPython, which is good, but when i
check my namespace it is empty. Is this supposed to happen? Is this
command not supposed to load django, and my settings etc when i run
it? All it seems to do is add the path of my project to sys.path,
which seems to be the only thing different from ipython...

It also adds your project's settings module to os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']. That makes your settings available to Django without you having to set that environment variable yourself. It doesn't auto-import anything, you still need to import the bits of django and your app that you want to work with in the shell.
