Django/PYTHONPATH gotcha

Just picking up django again after a while away and had had some problems with the following error when running 'django-admin.py runserver --settings=mysite.settings'

Error: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named mysite.settings

Google was not my friend as all of the returned results were to do with apache config etc

Turned out I'd simply forgotten to put the current working directory (.) in the PYTHONPATH (e.g export PYTHONPATH=.:$APPENGINEPATH:$APPENGINEPATH/lib/yaml/lib:$APPENGINEPATH/lib/webob:$APPENGINEPATH/lib/ipaddr:$APPENGINEPATH/lib/fancy_urllib

) doh!
