Answer 1

Are you sure that you have exactly this in your settings.py?

    CLOUDINARY = {
      'CLOUD_NAME': 'CLOUD-NAME',  
      'API_KEY': 'xx',  
      'API_SECRET': 'xx',
      'API_PROXY': 'http://proxy.server:3128'
}

Answer 2

I believe the keys should be in lower caps. The foolproof way is to go to your Dashboard and download your python settings:

settings.py should be in this format:

CLOUDINARY = {
      'cloud_name': 'CLOUD-NAME',  
      'api_key': 'xx',  
      'api_secret': 'xx',
      'api_proxy': 'http://proxy.server:3128'
}
