Dear Group,

I am pretty new to Django. I was using 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial01/ to learn aspects of 
Django.
As I gave the command in IDLE, 
from django.db import models

I am getting the error as,
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    from django.db import connection
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\__init__.py", line 11, in 
<module>
    if settings.DATABASES and DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS not in settings.DATABASES:
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 53, in 
__getattr__
    self._setup(name)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 46, in 
_setup
    % (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not 
configured. You must either define the environment variable 
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing 
settings.

I tried to do some research on the problem in internet and did not find 
anything much of use.

I am using Windows 7 Professional, Python 2.7.9 and IDLE as GUI. I am using 
>>> django.get_version()
'1.5.4'
as my django version, and learnt more or less how to use command prompt as 
given in this tutorial.

If anyone may kindly suggest how to solve the problem.

Regards,
Subhabrata Banerjee.
