Check the value of settings.__file__ from python manage.py shell after importing settings, just to make sure it is using the file you think it is. I don't see any code in Django that would filter or clear that setting, so my first inclination is to think it is using some other settings file than what you are expecting. I can't help with pdb, coming most recently from a Java background to Django I already had Eclipse up and running and it was easy enough to add PyDev to that for debugging Django stuff, so that is what I tend to use.

I develop primarily on Ubuntu, but also have a couple spare old Windows machines I try things out on from time to time. FWIW I've never had any great difficulty getting Django stuff running on Windows.
