Use Django ORM as standalone [closed]

Use only some parts of Django?
Using only the DB part of Django
I want to use the Django ORM as standalone. Despite an hour of searching Google, I'm still left with several questions:
Does it require me to set up my Python project with a setting.py, /myApp/ directory, and modules.py file?
Can I create a new models.py and run syncdb to have it automatically setup the tables and relationships or can I only use models from existing Django projects?
There seems to be a lot of questions regarding PYTHONPATH. If you're not calling existing models is this needed?
I guess the easiest thing would be for someone to just post a basic template or walkthrough of the process, clarifying the organization of the files e.g.:
db/
__init__.py
settings.py
myScript.py
orm/
__init__.py
models.py
And the basic essentials:
# settings.py
from django.conf import settings
settings.configure(
DATABASE_ENGINE = "postgresql_psycopg2",
DATABASE_HOST = "localhost",
DATABASE_NAME = "dbName",
DATABASE_USER = "user",
DATABASE_PASSWORD = "pass",
DATABASE_PORT = "5432"
)
# orm/models.py
# ...
# myScript.py
# import models..
And whether you need to run something like: django-admin.py inspectdb ...
(Oh, I'm running Windows if that changes anything regarding command-line arguments.).
