Hi, Django's own documentation contains a description of how to do this:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/settings/#using-settings-without-setting-django-settings-module James Bennett has also written a blog post that gives a good rundown on approaches you can take: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/sep/22/standalone-django-scripts/ Unfortunately, the links in that blog post are a little stale; however, he provides code samples, which should be enough to get you going.
