In my case, i have 'postgresql_psycopg2' as 'ENGINE' value of the default database in settings.py (my production settings) and my python installation doesn't support postgresql. So, when i write:


{{{
$ python manage.py help dumpdata
}}}

i receive
{{{
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: No module named psycopg2
}}}

It should simply show the help text. This problems also happen with the tab autocomplete, if the system autocomplete knows how to autocomplete the django-admin.py subcommands, as is in my case in an Ubuntu 11.04 installation and Django installed via apt-get."
