Django Shell Script

Django Shell Script
Richard Crowley <r@rcrowley.org>
I like organized directory structures. Because of the way the Python
path works, there wasn't a readily-available way to stash shell scripts
that needed access to Django goodness away in bin/. This is a bit
heavy on the scaffolding code (six lines, geez) but works.
