Django-admin createsuperuser does not work

The Django documentation says syncdb is deprecated and replaced by migrate. But for a fresh install of Django 1.8, if I run python manage.py migrate and then django-admin createsuperuser, I get an error of:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

But if I run python manage.py syncdb, it gives me a warning about deprecation BUT at the same time prompts me to create a super user, which completed OK. So is there a way that I should use to create superuser without syncdb?

I found that this only happens when I run django-admin createsuperuser, whereas python manage.py createsuperuser will run without complaint
