This was closed by Jacob, and I don't see any compelling reason to reopen
it.
Python requires that you import code that you require. It's not "jumping
through hoops" or "conflicting with the philosophy of Django" to expect
users to write Python code when presented with a a Python prompt. The
Principle of Least Surprise says that you should do the least surprising
thing - to me, this means that starting a Python shell should provide you
with a clean python environment, not one that has been magically populated
with some subset of all possible imports.
If you don't like this decision, there are at least two workarounds
mentioned in this thread.
