Yes. The fully-qualified path that Django asks you to provide is to a Django database backend, not to a Python database binding. Django has it's own API for communicating with databases (mostly to abstract the eccentricities between databases). If you want to use pg8000, you will need to find (or write) a library that implements the Django database backend interface and talks to the pg8000 database binding.
