manage.py runserver doesn't terminate

I am trying to create my first Django project and i've been following a tutorial for the setup here (so far this tutorial has been very helpful)

The only thing i'm doing different is i'm running everything in bash rather than the DOS command prompt (something else i'm new to)

My problem is that nothing happens in bash when i execute $ python manage.py runserver

however, if i go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ the server is running and i get the django welcome page.

But bash just stays frozen with a blank line after the command i executed. Then if i do a keyboard interrupt, i can enter new commands in bash, but then if i go back to http://127.0.0.1:8000 the server isn't running and i get 'webpage not available'.

I'm need to know why i can't execute new commands in bash after i have executed $ python manage.py runserver

when you run python manage.py runserver something is happening - there is a web service listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000/

The reason bash appears to be frozen is that the runserver is "holding" it.
