By "built-in" shell, do you mean the one in the admin app? I think there are sometimes problems with that (particularly with database operations), so I tend to use the web2py shell in the terminal, which you can start as follows from the web2py directory:
python web2py.py -S yourapp/[optional controller] -M But you may fine the admin shell works just fine for you, in which case, use it.
