+# This is an example test settings file for use with the Django test suite.

+# The 'sqlite3' backend requires only the ENGINE setting (an in-
+# memory database will be used). All other backends will require a

+# following section in the docs for more information:
+#
+# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/

+# The different databases that Django supports behave differently in certain
