elvelind, jorge, thanks for your help.
Here is what I ended up doing (in case anybody is interested ;-) 1. to get the my model objects loaded correctly in the shell: In model.py, import each models (add a line: 'from models.modelA import *' for modelA, modelB, etc...) 2. to get 'tg-admin sql' to work correctly: changed 'db_module' (in file <project>.egg-info/sqlobject.txt) to list all my models... (db_module=project1.model,project1.models.modelA,project1.models.modelB, etc...) cheers, -Didier
