------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
If the `ENGINE` setting is not defined in a project's settings.py file
(for instance, if not using Django's ORM), any attempt to import
`django.db` will cause an `ImportError` due to the new `ConnectionHandler`
trying to import an invalid path. I have attached a patch which hopefully
corrects this behaviour.

Comment (by anonymous):

+1, just had exactly the same problem - you shouldn't need to define
databases if you're not using the ORM. Came up with exactly the same
patch, does the trick.
