.. admonition:: Bypassing manage.py
If you'd rather not use :file:`manage.py`, no problem. Just set the
:envvar:`DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variable to
``mysite.settings``, start a plain Python shell, and set up Django:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import django
>>> django.setup()
If this raises an :exc:`AttributeError`, you're probably using
a version of Django that doesn't match this tutorial version. You'll want
to either switch to the older tutorial or the newer Django version.
You must run ``python`` from the same directory :file:`manage.py` is in,
or ensure that directory is on the Python path, so that ``import mysite``
works.
For more information on all of this, see the :doc:`django-admin
documentation </ref/django-admin>`.
