When you try to execute a command that does not exist outside a Django
project (e.g. createproject instead of startproject...), Django raise a
`ImproperlyConfigured` that does not fit with the real error:
{{{
(testdjango):~/testdjango$ django-admin.py not-a-real-command test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/testdjango/bin/django-admin.py", line 5, in <module>
management.execute_from_command_line()

packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in

% (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting
INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. You must either define
the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call
settings.configure() before accessing settings.
}}}
The expected output is:
{{{
(testdjango):~/testdjango$ django-admin.py not-a-real-command test
Unknown command: 'not-a-real-command'
Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.
