Hmmm, my lisp is really rusty, and I'm struggling with the syntax.  The following doesn't seem to work.

(setq compile-history (cons '("cd /home/roy/songza/pyza/djapi; python test_api.py"
                              "cd /home/roy/songza/code/radio/api/mobile/test; python test_api.py"
                              )
                            ))
