Is it?
Have a look inside manage.py:
"
try:
import settings # Assumed to be in the same directory.
except ImportError:
import sys
"
It imports your settings file; django-admin.py does no such thing.
Hence manage.py takes care of setting up your environment correctly
for the current project such as your PYTHONPATH, and it can find all
the modules (apps) in your project directory. That explains why you
get an ImportError: the whatever module isn't in your PYTHONPATH.
Hope that clarifies things.
