All packages which access django.conf.settings at import time (and several do) are going to expose the same behaviour. Django is not meant to be executed outside of a Django project created by django-admin. I'm sorry that this behaviour is unfriendly towards pydoc but I doubt there's any way to avoid this (without defining the variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to point to a valid Django settings module).
