I don't even recognize the ${} format you're using in the template,
actually, curious where you got it from :) You need to be using Python
2.x style string interpolation, e.g. %(env_key_name)s. See:

    
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.8/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations

So for example, change:

    'django.db.backends.${django_db_engine})'

to:

    'django.db.backends.%(django_db_engine)s)'

Take care to remember the trailing 's' after the close-paren, it's
easy to overlook.

Best,
Jeff
