It would be useful if there were "Command line shell" under the Django menu. It should obviously start the command prompt (or in linux the terminal) with DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and PYTHONPATH environment variables configured correctly. I have configured in past own external launch configuration for each django app manually, but that seems like a waste when there is this new menu for Django that does almost everything.

Currently I'm trying to use "manage.py dumpdata", and since it is supposed to be used like "manage.py dumpdata mydjangoapp > somefile" and using > to pipe the output to file does not work from PyDev.

Less general way is to implement customized menu item for "dumpdata" but Command line shell could come handy in future cases too.
