Access Django from outside Django shell in real Python

I run Django through a Python 3.4 virtualenv and I want to make some cronjob scripts that will access models and save.

I can do this through the Django shell python manage.py shell will initiate the Django shell. From there I can do from polls.models import Poll, Choice and make a new Poll and save it into the DB.

How can I do this through the regular Python shell?

Your best bet is probably to create a management command. You can run it from the command line by calling (python manage.py ) and from within the script you can access any django functions or models.
