DJango v1.6.4

'''Problem:'''
In the Tutorial 5 - at the begining of the "Test View" part
we have pythin console code to execute:

{{{
>>> from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment
>>> setup_test_environment()
}}}

however import of "setup_test_environment" doesnt work and throw
exception:

{{{
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting CACHES, but
settings are not configured. You must either define the environment
variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before acces
sing settings.
}}}

however to execute

{{{
settings.configure()
}}}

we have to import "settings"

{{{
from django.conf import settings
}}}

'''Solution:'''
To fix tutorial flow need to change current console code of 2 lines to the
4 lines like this:

{{{
>>> from django.conf import settings
>>> settings.configure()
>>> from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment
>>> setup_test_environment()
}}}

Comment:

Further problems:

The following code execution:
{{{
response = client.get('/')
}}}
throw exception:

{{{
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ROOT_URLCONF'
}}}

not sure how to fix this problem as my "settings.py" file has defined
"ROOT_URLCONF"

{{{
ROOT_URLCONF = 'Tutorial_1.urls'
}}}

cannot continue with that tutorial, moving to the tutorial 6 without
completing that one

Comment:

You need to use `manage.py shell` as described before that section: "We
will start again with the shell".
