8256	Changeset [8282] broke settings.py	chrj	nobody	"When doing `manage.py runserver` it seems the settings in `settings.py` is ignored. I traced the error to the a change in [8282]. When doing `__import__(""projectname.settings"")` it is actually the `projectname(/__init__.py)` that gets imported. From `help(__import__)`:

{{{
    When importing a module from a package, note that __import__('A.B', ...)
    returns package A when fromlist is empty, but its submodule B when
    fromlist is not empty.
}}}

I came up with a solution in the diff attached, which works for me.
