I saw this chat related to DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.
Hello I am new to Django.
I am trying to exercise "templates" through the interactive shell,
however I end up getting this error. Can anyone help?
here is the exact steps I follow:
1) cd C:\Django\mysite
2) set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings I've also tried set
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings.py
3) python
4) >>> from django.template import Template
>>> t = Template("My name is {{ name }}.")
5) ERROR: ImportError: Settings cannot be imported, because
environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined
- Show quoted text -
Setting it to mysite.settings will work if c:\django is on your
PYTHONPATH.
Setting it to settings.py won't work at all because of the .py.
Assuming
you are running the python from c:\django\mysite, setting
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to just 'settings' will work. Or, use 'python
manage.py shell', which assumes settings.py is in the current
directory and
sets the environment up for you.

So I did
1
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
2
set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myapp1.settings
3
settings.py has :
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'myapp1.person',
)
when I do
django-admin.py dumpdata
Error: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable
DJANGO_SETTINGS
_MODULE is undefined.
