I had to fix that as part of fixing another problem. However, you will never be able to do anything with the templates without configuring the settings (or using the "manage.py shell" method). This is because the template code behaves slightly differently internally depending upon whether it is in debug mode or not and it needs to access the settings to know that. So there's a slight bug in the text at www.djangobook.com there. Using the "manage.py shell" method should work exactly as you expect, though.
