run "silent" dev server
This will hide the scrolling output from the development server so you can ssh and run the server in peace, for those of us with only one SSH session active developing on a remote server.

Snippet List
manage.py reboot
1) Simply create a "management/commands" folder in one of your INSTALLED_APPS folders. Then add a "reboot.py" file in your "management/commands" 2) In settings.py, you can OPTIONALLY add: PROJECT_NAME = 'Blah' PROJECT_DOMAIN = 'blah.com' These two settings will be used to create a "Site" object as well as a superuser. If you choose not to use these settings, the reboot command simply reverts to using your DATABASES[default] username as superuser. 3) Execute the command via "python manage.py reboot" Enjoy.

pyserver -- runserver alias
I use Django's built-in development server all the time, but get tired of typing out the command to run it, and if I'm testing some custom admin css/js, I *really* get tired of typing out the command that correctly directs the middleware to use my admin media dir. So I added this alias to my .bashrc and when I'm in a project's root, I just type 'pyserver' and the development server fires up, automatically passing an --adminmedia arg if I have some custom admin media for the project (otherwise it's 'runserver' as always). Note: This relies on the convention that my custom admin media will be in a folder called admin_media that resides at the project's base. Of course, change it to whatever convention you use. I'm not a bash expert or anything, but this works for me ;)

Quiet runserver
It's quite common to use Django's `static.serve` functionality to serve media assets via the built-in development server. However, I always find that this is far too noisy - every asset produces a line of output on the console, and any debug messages I want to put there are hard to see. This management command monkey-patches the built-in `runserver` command so that it only generates a line of output for actual Django views - anything else is served as usual, but is not logged to the console. In fact the original version was already doing this for admin media, but not for your own media - I've just extended the logic. Put this in the management/commands directory of an installed app, saving it as (for example) `runserver_quiet`, then just do `./manage.py runserver_quiet` to run - it will accept all the same arguments as the built-in version.
