Glad to see you got it working, but I wanted to caution against this, for a couple of reasons:
settings.py may be overridden during upgrades, which may remove your database
definition.
The Python libraries directories may also be overridden, which will remove the
DB drivers.
As a general concern, you may have some trouble with a Search Head Pooling scenario, but that
may not be an issue for you.
Overall, I completely understand that this is a great feature to have, but I wanted to be honest that it may not be the best approach at the moment. It is something we are looking at enabling.
