title: Python/Django shell won't start
body: <p>One of the great features of Django is that you can open a python interpreter set-up for use with your project. This can be used to analyse objects in a database and allows any python commands to be executed on your project. I find it essential for Django development. It is invoked in the project directory using this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python manage.py shell
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have just started developing a new project and for some reason the shell does not work. I have had a look online for the error and not found anything. I would greatly appreciate any help on this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>
  Traceback (most recent call last):
