My Google-fu is failing me. I’m doing this tutorial and it wants me to define important-looking functions while using the command line shell. If this is the only way, I’ll do it, but it seems inefficient (make one typo and you have to redefine the whole thing). Also I thought that shell sessions were mostly for testing things out, but it looks like the things I’m defining here are more permament. Where can I find a record of the functions I’ve defined, etc.? Or am I misunderstanding what they’re wanting me to do?

Hmm, where are you getting this idea that the tutorial you linked to asks you to write functions in the shell?
I just went through the tutorials again and the shell isn’t even brought up in Tutorial 2, 3, and 4. It briefly appears in tutorial 1 but no functions are written.
Tutorial 3 goes through the process of building a simple view. First define urls to route a request to your view function, start returning some raw text, then start using real HTML templates.
So yes, you’re misunderstanding what they want you to do : )
