18845	Runtime error in setting.py causes silent exception and empty apps list	ac@…	nobody	"I had a runtime error in my settings.py file that wasn't being reported.

django/config/__init__.py : 94 was silently re-throwing, and[[BR]]
django/core/management/__init__.py : 103 was setting the INSTALLED_APPS list to an empty array.

I suggest the following changes:

django/config/__init__.py : 94 : except Exception, e:[[BR]]
django/core/management/__init__.py : 103 : sys.stdout.write('%s\n' % e)

This will result in the following printed on execution of any management command:

Could not import settings '<project>.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): <exception description here>
