I agree you shouldn't be forced to set up db, but that's not why you had your problem - it was because you don't have postgresql driver for python installed. It tries do call them, fails and prints out an error. Switch it to mysql (or whatever you're using) and everything will be honky-dory.
And I think that the DATABASE_ENGINE setting should be set to empty string "" in settings.py by default, so it can detect if it hasn't been properly set up.
