Django-admin.py won't find settings

something strange occurs on my Ubuntu 12.10. I have the following directory structure for my Django project:

project-repository
|__ my-project
    |__manage.py
    |__my-project
       |__ __init__.py
       |__urls.py
       |__wsgi.py
       |__settings
          |__ __init__.py
          |__local.py
          |__base.py

When I run from within project-repository/my-project

django-admin runserver --pythonpath=$PWD --settings=my-project.settings.local

everything works perfectly. But when I try to add project-repository/my-project to virtualenv via add2virtualenv $PWD the following command

django-admin runserver --settings=my-project.settings.local

results in the following error:

ImportError: Could not import settings 'my-project.settings.local' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named my-project.settings.local

Although when I do sys.path in python console, one of the lines corresponds to the project-repository/my-project directory.

Could you please clarify me what I'm doing wrong?

It occurred that I used the globally installed django-admin.py while trying to work with one installed in virtualenv. More details are here https://stackoverflow.com/a/14768107/897301.
