---------------------------------------------+------------------------
The test client (django.test.client.Client) uses an empty request when
calling login. This is a little annoying when you have a
user_logged_(in|out) signal handler that attempts to retrieve the
request's IP for logging purposes.

The offending line [1] creates an empty HttpRequest. Perhaps it could use
RequestFactory.request instead?
