Could not find Eclispe pydev settings module

Question

I keep trying to create a project with Eclipse Neon Release Candidate 3 (4.6.ORC3) and PyDev 5.1.1 and continue to have the same problem. Going to Project> Properties> PyDev-Django, I still get the same error. Could not find the settings module. I tried everything to try to fix this error, including manually filling in DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE manually. Nothing works. The problem does exist, because the manage.py and runerver tests return the same error. The settings.py file exists and is located in the correct place in the project directory. I'm dead in the water until I get it.

Note. I upgraded the system to Neon 4.6 and PyDev 5.1.2. I still have the same problems

Using the Debian Linux Stretch with the KDE Desktop

Please, help.

Make sure the PyDEV PYTHONPATH settings contain the directory in which the management is performed.
