django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value

I'm building a web application that uses Django.
One of it's purposes is to pull data using an API call and insert that into a database to be displayed on a web page.
I'm able to pull the data but I'm having troubles inserting it into a the database.
Whenever I try I get the error
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.
I've followed the directions given by others and I haven't had any luck.
This is the def in question:
import requests
from django.conf import settings
settings.configure()
from polls.models import Poll
def getSnacks():
response = requests.get('https://api-snacks.nerderylabs.com/v1/snacks?ApiKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')
print("adding to DB")
html = response.json()
snackArray = []
x = 0
p = Poll.objects.get(pk=1)
while x < len(html):
snackArray.append(html[x])
x += 1
for y in snackArray:
print("uploading " + y["name"])
snackID = y["id"]
snackName = y["name"]
snackOp = y["optional"]
snackLoc = y["purchaseLocations"]
snackCnt = y["purchaseCount"]
snackPrchDt = y["lastPurchaseDate"]
p.snacks_set.create(name=snackName,source_ID=snackID,optional=snackOp,purchaseLocation=snackLoc,purchaseCount=snackCnt,lastPurchaseDate=snackPrchDt,votes=0)

You seem to be using DJ-Database-URL since you import dj_database_url at the top of your settings.py. Either define the environment variables required by that package, or remove that import line and use standard Django settings format.

Nothing getting stored in django non-rel for google app engine

I am unable to save anything in my django non-rel development project..
I have google app engine sdk installed with django non -rel.
I can access the django admin page but cannot login because neither superuser is getting saved anywhere.

Django caching issue

When I'm changing something in .py files, the changes are not shown immediately, but after few minutes (even half hour). I'm restarting, reloading apache, this don't help.

Connecting ClearDB to django database engine using Heroku

Does anyone have some idea that might shed some light on this odd problem? Thank you for your time and consideration.

you should have both sqlall and sql management commands. Both have existed since 1.0, it appears
$ ./manage.py help sqlall
...
Usage: manage.py sqlall [options] <appname appname ...>
Prints the CREATE TABLE, custom SQL and CREATE INDEX SQL statements
for the given model module name(s).
...
see the commands which have sql in them:
$ ./manage.py --help | grep sql
monitor (pid=16660): Starting change monitor.
sql
sqlall
sqlclear
sqlcustom
sqlflush
sqlindexes
sqlinitialdata
sqlreset
sqlsequencereset
sqlcreate
sqldiff
what version of django are you using? -- not that it should matter
$ ./manage.py shell
monitor (pid=16669): Starting change monitor.

As pointed out in a comment, you have a KeyError:
File "/Users/levicc00123/DoneBox/DoneBox/settings.py", line 16, in <module>
'NAME': os.environ['RDS_DB_NAME'],
File "/Users/levicc00123/DoneBox/env/lib64/python2.6/UserDict.py", line 22, in __getitem__
raise KeyError(key)
To get around this, you could use the get method of os.environ and supply a default value. eg:
os.environ.get('RDS_DB_NAME', "default value if not in environment")
