BTW, you said, "If you want to work with an interactive prompt." I'm actually not as comfortable with the interactive prompt as I'd like to be but as far as I can tell from reading both of the tutorials I'm trying to figure out, I don't have a choice. At least none is mentioned. All the Python learning i've done has been basically in IDLE.
Sorry to be so dense here. I'm sure this is pre-newbie stuff and I'm just annoying people, but I feel really, really lost in this Django sea.
If you want to work with an interactive prompt, the easiest way is to be
inside your project directory (jobs/ in your case, I guess) and run
"./manage.py shell". This will set up DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and append
the current directory to the Python path for you.

You could set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable yourself
(it should point to the Python-importable path to your settings.py file)
if you like. That was the old way you had to do it in Django; it got
tedious very quickly so it was wrapped in a manage.py option.
