Of course, if your not running your app through manage.py, you'll need
to define the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable. After all,
for you model to connect with a db, it'll need the connection
settings.
A minimal settings file with db connection info should do the trick.
Depending on how you plan to run your app, you can either permenantly
set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable via the OS or in
you python code.
In your python code this should do the trick ( where myproject is on
your pythonpath):
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "myproject.settings"
