I ran across same problem some time ago and later found out that PyFacebook isn't deeply tied up with Django. It just uses a few utils from django.
My recommendation is that you setup PyFacebook alongwith django and then play around with it using command line. To use PyFacebook you won't have to go through or even know anything about django at all.
Here's an example:
from facebook import Facebook
api_key = 'Your App API Key'
secret = 'Your App Secret Key'
session_key = 'your infinite Session key of user'
fb = Facebook(api_key, secret)
fb.session_key = session_key
# now use the fb object for playing around
You might need to get an infinite session key which you can get from here: http://www.facebook.com/code_gen.php?v=1.0&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
Use this code to get convert the code from above URL into infinite session key:
def generate_session_from_onetime_code(fb, code):
fb.auth_token = code
return fb.auth.getSession()
print generate_session_from_onetime_code(fb, session_onetime_code)
