The 'Testing Django applications page'
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/) gives many
examples of tests using unittest2.TestCase directly rather than
django.test.TestCase.
For the DB to be reset between tests it is essential to use
django.test.TestCase, and that is not made at all obvious in this
documentation.
* At least: a prominent warning should be present about the fact that DB
side effects are possible when using unittest2.TestCase
* Preferably: the examples should use django.utils.TestCase since it is a
safer default.
