Comment (by blueyed):
Well, I am not relying on `os.environ`, but want to test what the app /
Django makes out of it.
This is a bit like assuming that `settings` is being used in the tests
(apart from special cases like `settings.DEBUG`).
My example should make it clear: I do not want to mock anything, but see
what gets rendered from what's provided.
Knowing the internals of the test client I could manually extend
`request.META`, but then it's still not certain that it would be the same
as with a real environment.
I really think that the test client should provide the environment similar
to runserver / the wsgi adapter.
I am a bit uncertain here how the test client and live server
interact/behave in this regard.
Is this maybe more a case of using the live server (LiveServerTestCase) to
test against?
Does the live server setup the environment with `os.environ` like
`runserver`, or is it like with the test client?
