Diffsettings management command not working ?

[pakal]

The importd server runs fines, d()-injected settings work well, but when I use d.main() to issue django management commands, "diffsettings" doesn't work (although "shell" works).

Packages:
dj-database-url==0.4.1
Django==1.9.7
envdir==0.7
fhurl==0.1.8
importd==0.4.3
logging-tree==1.7
path.py==8.2.1
PIL==1.1.7
six==1.10.0
smarturls==0.1.6
speaklater==1.3
virtualenv==15.0.2

Traceback is below:

$ python tech_quizz_fetcher.py  diffsettings

Hey @pakal,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I am travelling right now, and would be able to work on it for sometime. Do let me know if you did your own exploration of the problem.

This feature need not be part of importd, may be we can take it out as a separate package.
