In Django < 1.6, override_settings restores the settings module that was
active when the override_settings call was executed, not when it was
run. This can make a difference when override_settings is applied to a
class, since it's executed when the module is imported, not when the
test case is run.
In addition, if the settings module for tests is stored alongside the
tests themselves, importing the settings module can trigger an import
of the tests. Since the settings module isn't fully imported yet,
class-level override_settings statements may store a reference to an
incorrect settings module. Eventually this will result in a crash during
test teardown because the settings module restored by override_settings
won't the one that was active during test setup.
While Django should prevent this situation in the future by failing
loudly in such dubious import sequences, that change won't be backported
to 1.5 and 1.4. However, these versions received the "allowed hosts"
patch and they're prone to "AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no
attribute '_original_allowed_hosts'". To mitigate this regression, this
commits stuffs _original_allowed_hosts on a random module instead of the
settings module.
This problem shouldn't occur in Django 1.6, see #20290, but this patch
will be forward-ported for extra safety.
Also tweaked backup variable names for consistency.
Forward port of 0261922 from stable/1.5.x.

Also moved its documentation to the 'advanced' section. It doesn't
belong to the 'overview'. Same for TransactionTestCase.reset_sequences.
When available_apps is set, after a TransactionTestCase, the database
is now totally empty. post_syncdb is fired at the beginning of the next
TransactionTestCase.

This can be used to make Django's test suite significantly faster by
reducing the number of models for which content types and permissions
must be created and tables must be flushed in each non-transactional
test.
It's documented for Django contributors and committers but it's branded
as a private API to preserve our freedom to change it in the future.
Most of the credit goes to Anssi. He got the idea and did the research.
Fixed#20483.
It's useful to be able to list all the (flattened) keys of a
ContextList, to help you figure out why the variable that's supposed
to be there is not.
No .values() or .items() added as the definition for those aren't clear.
The patch is Chris Wilson's patch from pull request 1065 with some
modifications by committer.
The ``DocTestRunner`` and ``OutputChecker`` were formerly in
``django.test.testcases``, now they are in ``django.test.simple``. This avoids
triggering the ``django.test._doctest`` deprecation message with any import
from ``django.test``. Since these utility classes are undocumented internal
API, they can be moved without a separate deprecation process.
Also removed the deprecation warnings specific to these classes, as they are
now covered by the module-level warning in ``django.test.simple``.
Thanks Anssi for the report.
Refs #17365.
SuspiciousOperations have been differentiated into subclasses, and
are now logged to a 'django.security.*' logger. SuspiciousOperations
that reach django.core.handlers.base.BaseHandler will now return a 400
instead of a 500.
Thanks to tiwoc for the report, and Carl Meyer and Donald Stufft
for review.
TestCase._fixture_setup disables transactions so,
in case of an error, cleanup is needed to re-enable
transactions, otherwise following TransactionTestCase
would fail.
Thanks to Preston Timmons for the bulk of the work on the patch, especially
updating Django's own test suite to comply with the requirements of the new
runner. Thanks also to Jannis Leidel and Mahdi Yusuf for earlier work on the
patch and the discovery runner.
