shell_plus and Better Tooling

Speed up shell work with django-extensions.

The Tedious Part

The default shell makes you import every model by hand each session. That repetition gets old fast on real projects.

Meet shell_plus

shell_plus is an upgraded shell from the django-extensions package. It auto-imports your models and common helpers for you.
