DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is an environment variable that must be set. I believe this is taken care of for you when you create a project using django-admin. You may need to create it manually. Without that environmental variable set, the Django shell won't open. As Jirka said, please review the tutorials and documentation, especially Tutorial 1-4. This will get you on your way to installing and using Django via the web, and shell.
