Description

Since that's the main place people seem to go to find information on manually configuring settings for standalone use, it should mention that django.setup() now has to be called as part of that process, in addition to settings.configure().

In fact, what it really should have is a section on how to configure Django to run standalone (i.e., not in a web server context).
