You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.
The django-admin command that is being run doesn't itself point to
your settings. In my case, I run django-admin via a wrapper that contains
#!/bin/bash
. /opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin/activate
cd /opt/mailman/mm
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/mailman/mm
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
django-admin $@
The critical things are the exports of PYTHONPATH and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. The former is the path to where your settings module lives and the latter is its name without the .py extension.
