I'm not sure you need the gnucash-env script to use the python bindings. I 
have used them without gnucash-env. Or at least, I didn't run that script 
explicitly.

Of course, you need to make sure that django can find the python bindings, but 
that can be solved by installing the bindings somewhere in your python library 
path.

Have you tried using the bindings without the gnucash-env file ?
