Hi Sabine, No - you don't put it in your settings file; the settings file is loaded as part of the setup call.
As a completely manual process, you can just run the following: import django django.setup() as the first two commands in your Python shell. If PyCharm has any hooks you can tie into for providing shell startup logic, that would be a good place to put these two lines.
