django shell not respecting vi editing-mode in .inputrc

G'day peeps,

I somehow missed the Django shell (python manage.py shell) until somebody quite new to Django showed it to me. It's pretty and seems to have some nice tricks, but the vi editing commands I expect aren't working when I run it in my own environment.

The normal Python interpreter uses readline, and thus respects 'set editing-mode vi' (and other settings) in my ~/.inputrc file. Can I get the Django shell to do the same, or do I just need to type django.setup() in the normal interpreter?

Thanks,
Michael Scheper.
