You get this because the directory where your settings.py file is, and
the parent directory of that directory, are both effectively listed in
sys.path.
Actually, the latter isn't in sys.path if you look, but it was at one
point while package __init__.py of the site was imported. Even though
the directory is removed from sys.path after that, that the package
has already been loaded means that imports via site name still work.
See my prior desription of what Django manage.py does in:
