Comment:
Did you notice that you can't run `python manage.py shell` without
database?
Patch doesn't work and it's impossible to fix this.
When do you execute `from django.test import TestCase` in app/tests.py
then Python executes `django.test.__init__`. There is imported one or more
modules/classes which imports `django.db.connection` (or their dependency
do). `django.test.client` is just first of them. If you remove it from
`django.test.__init__`, then another module/class will import
`django.db.connection`. And so on. Import from any module inside
`django.db` will execute `django.db.__init__` which will raise exception
`ImproperlyConfigured`.
Defining default database (e.g. SQLite :memory:) will not break your code.
So this is not not bug at all. Django just depends on database.
