settings file being imported four times

is it normal that the settings file is being imported four times? I'd give more info, but I really have no clue what's going on

here's my manage.py:

from django.core.management import execute_manager
import imp
try:
    imp.find_module('local_settings') # Assumed to be in the same directory.
except ImportError:
    import sys
    sys.stderr.write("""Error: Can't find the file 'local_settings.py' in the directory containing %r.
It appears you've customized things.
You'll have to run django-admin.py, passing it your settings module.
(If the file local_settings.py does indeed exist, it's causing an ImportError somehow.)
""" % __file__)
    sys.exit(1)

import local_settings

if __name__ == '__main__':
    execute_manager(local_settings)


And I printed a stacktrace at the top of my local_settings file. It does a 'from settings import *' at the top.
