export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/django:/admin/etc/django

# copy over the needed files
cp /admin/etc/django/config_overrides/vm.py /tmp/django/config_overrides/

If you want to continue experimenting in your shell, don't forget to call:
export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/django:/admin/etc/django

You could then verify that the regular behavior on the other VMs won't be broken by running:
django-admin.py shell
    ...or...
django-admin.py shell --settings=storyville.conf.vm

To reverse the effects, just call:
rm -rf /tmp/django; git checkout storyville/conf/celery/vm.py
