Just what the error says, you have to define the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable. Assuming you have started a project, go to your project folder and in your shell run this: ~$ python manage.py shell It will set up the settings environment for you and fire up a python shell. If you still want to do it yourself, then what you need to do is something like this (in your shell of course): ~$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings ~$ python The 'export' thing is how you define an environment variable. I'm assuming here that your are using a Linux machine, if you are in Windows then you'll have to use the "python manage.py shell" command.
