Getting the Django admin media

The Django Admin module includes several of its own JavaScript files on several pages. I would like to include these media files for a custom view. How can I do this?

I've looked through the admin templates but I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.

Update: Or, I could just go to a page and copy/paste the scripts. Although it feels like there's a better way to do it.

In settings.py you need enable context processors - TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.core.context_processors.static",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

can read more here http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#subclassing-context-requestcontext If you are using render_to_response function, you can return something like this 

return render_to_response('template.html', {}, RequestContext(request))

after this you can use media option in your templates like {{ ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX }}js/name_of_file.js
