That is very annoying, but now fixed, and turned out to be two related but different problems
1) My Ultra5 that I use as a Postgresql database server had a problem with the network card and had put itself into a stop mode 2) Upgrading packages on my Debian machine I use for Django, it decided to uninstall the Psycopg package this morning, so Postgresql drivers for Python were unavailable.

Almost certainly, Django is not able to import your database backend correctly. Check that the DATABASE_* variables in settings.py are set up correctly. See if "manage.py shell" spits out something more useful, as well.
