I found that this issue can be "worked around" by simply performing the following before running the script in Terminal

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=default.settings

After running that code the script worked exactly the way it was supposed to!

  • Alternatively you can start a shell with your django environment loaded by running this from the directory containing your manage.py script: $ python manage.py shell – Dan Noble Apr 10 '13 at 15:33
