PyCharm 3 was released last week and it looks like they have changed the way settings are interpreted for Django (I really should have tested their EAP releases, next time…). Unfortunately this means that if you implement your settings Disqus style, the IDE can no longer figure things out. This results in invalid template errors and missing manage.py commands when hitting option + r. I’ve logged the issue for JetBrains so we’ll see if they consider this a bug or not.
