No particularly compelling reason that I know of, the import machinery is just unnecessary in this case. The site_settings.py is viewed as an extension of the settings.py, so it doesn't need to be loaded as a module in its own right. And for the same reason we know exactly where we expect the file to be, so there's no need to consult sys.path. I suppose it just comes down to a matter of taste.
