I am doing the Django tutorial. When I execute the command "python manage.py syncdb", I get the following error: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details. I am executing from <my home directory>/Django-projects/tutorial01/mysite, and this directory has the settings.py which I defined - as was explained in the tutorial - to be DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', ... }
}
I beleive my python imports another settings module but the question is why and I can override this... Thanks.

I debugged using pdb and got to a point where I could examine settings.DATABASES. It was *not* the settings.DATABASES defined in my settings.py. There seems to be another Django installation on the station which conflicts with the tutorial.

Hi Yacov,
If you have confirmed that there are more than one django
installations on your computer, what I can say is crazy things happen
with more than one django installed. Even if you manage to pass this
hurdle, there's a lot more ahead.
