syncdb has never been able to modify existing models. In order to get
some functionality like that, look into django-evolution:

Is there any way to get the old value of a field in a clean_* method

That is - the validation depends on the old value of the field versus
the new value.
self.cleaned_data only contains the new value.

What you are describing are Django "Context Processors".

Basically you'd make a new context processor to set the variables you

What reason do you have for this? Security through obfuscation isn't a
good strategy, especially with something as intrinsically open as

then you have bigger problems to worry about than obfuscating it.

Are you running that command from the interactive shell invoked by
running 'python manage.py shell'?
Invoking the interactive shell that way should set up all your python
library settings properly for your Django app.

Would it be possible to replace the Django database driver(i.e. postgresql,

If you are using SQLite you could just delete the database file. If not, I'm
confused at why you'd have access to the shell but not access to the
database - do you not have access to the database you are working on or
something? If so, I would ask whoever has access to it to drop the tables
for you
Additionally, you could use `django-admin.py flush` to wipe all the database
tables and reset them to the state they were in after you initially
syncdb'ed.

What you are looking for is an initial_data fixture. You need to serialize
the default instance of the model you want as JSON and save it in
initial_data.json and then it should prepopulate when you run syncdb.

That really depends on the app and how everything is configured.
For example, where are you installing the required Python packages? Do you
have a Python lib directory in the application or are you using one of your
system's Python include paths?

You're creating a contrived test though. If you really wanted the

Yup, that is my approach...
The Django sourcecode is eminently readable and well-organized and most of
it has documentation associated with it.
You can jump into a shell and use the help() command to view API
documentation like you requested.
e.g.
