If you fail to set a database engine in setting.py you get an error.
Is there some way to disable the database portion of django for a specific site if you don't have a need for a database?

Although you can use Django without a database, it comes with an object-relational mapper in which you describe your database layout in Python code.
Yes that is possible, but a lot of how Django can help is then not available. In that case, Django will look more (in terms of what it can do) like Flask.
Django officially supports the following databases: PostgreSQL. MariaDB. MySQL.
Django doesn't create databases for you automatically. You have to do this yourself manually. This is a simple package that creates your database for you automatically, if necessary, when you run migrate for the first time.
You may need it if using some of the built in db models that Django offers. Here is a microproject that only has the bare minimum to form a response, so no db is prsent:

As you can see the settings.py file is pretty stripped down.
