title: Bizarre error importing settings in django
body: <p>I have many projects working in ubuntu with python2.7 and virtualenv/virtualenvwrapper, in my work some developers works with macosx and windows, generally I create the project as usual:</p>
  
  <pre><code>django-admin.py start project x
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And we use svn for cvs, but in some point, without nothing rational for me, when I try something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python manage.py runserver
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't work, but is just for me and is in my laptop, that doesn't happens in productions servers or another developers.</p>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>I got this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error: Can't find the file 'settings.py' in the directory containing
    'manage.py'. It appears you've customized things. You'll have to run
    django-admin.py, passing it your settings module. (If the file
    settings.py does indeed exist, it's causing an ImportError somehow.)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But obviously, the settings file exists and is in the same folder of manage.py file, and doesn't work just for me...</p>
  
  <p>This happens too with <a href="http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine" rel="nofollow noreferrer">django and appengine</a></p>
