@ -381,28 +381,6 @@ We're using this instead of simply typing "python", because :file:`manage.py`
sets the ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE`` environment variable, which gives Django
the Python import path to your :file:`mysite/settings.py` file.
.. 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>`.
Once you're in the shell, explore the :doc:`database API </topics/db/queries>`::
>>> from polls.models import Question, Choice # Import the model classes we just wrote.
