Thought I'd try this out for some Django evangelism but:

How do I get to a bash shell? I know how to work around the inability to run management commands but I want to show a noob the normal way to do things.

Incorporating bash access is our next step. :) We know a lot of seasoned users will want to use it as part of their dev setup.

It's more that it's awfully tortuous to use Django without it. The syntax for creating and running migrations inside a Python shell isn't very pleasant and all the documentation assumes you're doing all this from a bash shell.

> We know a lot of seasoned users

It's actually the other way around. Seasoned users can work out how to get round the lack of a shell. Beginners will be thoroughly confused.
