That would suggest a permissions problem: maybe the webserver doesn't have permission to read the *.py files? What does "ls -l settings.py" look like? You might have to add read permissions for the "other" section or, since settings sometimes contain information you don't want every user on the system to be able to read, make the webserver's group be the group owner of the file.
