Preston has the right solution for this - delete your DATABASES setting
entirely. I think it would be best if an empty DATABASES setting had the
same effect, especially since that's how it was in 1.3 - if you'd be
willing to file a ticket for that, that'd be great.

render_to_response doesn't require a database, but there are other
functions in django.shortcuts that do (e.g. get_object_or_404), and the
error is triggered on any import of django.db.*
