Your suspicions are correct you can't do that. Anything that requires using Django itself cannot be done in the settings file. The reason is because almost anything in Django requires access to the settings file for things like the list of available languages, the database engine/name/user to use, etc. If you try to do anything inside settings that uses Django and hence requires settings, there's a chicken-and-egg problem.
