-----------------------------------+--------------------
When running tests, unittest.installHandler is called to catch SIGINT.
This is impossible when it's not on the main thread, and will throw a
ValueError.
Running tests inside a thread occurs, for example, when used in conjuction
with autoreload, as used in:
*
https://github.com/rca/django/commit/043e9723ae8fdb98745c2390f3ff92649bc106df
* https://github.com/garethr/django-test-extensions
Using either of these will result in a ValueError.
One might argue this is an unittest bug, but i disagree. Unittest doesn't
automatically install this handler, therefor its the users (django)
responsibility to use it appropriately.
