This sounds like a path type issue and these sorts of things are a PITA to sort out. Have you tried setting the settings path a bit more explitly:
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"]="django_project.settings" I had some trouble with kind of thing in a project I was working on (https://launchpad.net/django-audit/). I wrote a test suite which needed a fake Django app to test a load of things and I had to use the full path to the settings file: os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "tests.fixtures.sampledjango.settings" Are you installing the application using setuptools? If not and you can't put it in the site-packages, I'd consider using a virtualenv.
