Hi team,

I’d like to suggest adding some enhanced startup checks or helpful messages in the Django manage.py script. For example:

Detect if the virtual environment is not activated and suggest activation.

Check if required environment variables (like DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE) are correctly set before running commands.

Provide clearer guidance or links to troubleshooting docs when common errors occur.

These improvements could help new developers onboard faster and reduce confusion when setting up or running Django management commands.

Thanks for considering this! I’d be happy to help with a proof-of-concept or testing.
