Integrate django via pydev in eclipse?

Question

I have installed eclipse indigo and pydev and python 32.

I have configured my python path and can create an "empty" django project:

However, when I run right click on project and run as->pydev: django

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Could not import settings 'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\conf\project_template\settings.py' (Is it on sys.path?): Import by filename is not supported.

Any idea what I ned to fix to run a django project in eclipse?

• Go to Window -> Preferences -> Pydev -> Interpreter - Python
• Go to the String Substitution Variables tab
• Add the 2 following variables:
  • DJANGO_MANAGE_LOCATION with the path to django/conf/project_template/
  • DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE with the /settings/
