I use something like this (assuming you have iPython installed):
**********
#!/usr/bin/env ipython -i -nobanner
# don't need this part if DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is already set in
your environment
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'YOUR.SETTINGS.MODULE'
from django.db.models import Count, Max, Min, Q
from django.db.models.loading import cache as appcache
local_dict = locals()
for model_class in appcache.get_models():
local_dict[model_class.__name__] = model_class
del local_dict, appcache, os
**********
Save that to a file in your PATH, make it executable, and you should be set.
