When overriding settings, make sure to handle the cases in which your app's
code uses a cache or similar feature that retains state even if the
setting is changed. Django provides the

When overriding settings, make sure to handle the cases in which your app's
code uses a cache or similar feature that retains state even if the

:data:`django.test.signals.setting_changed` signal that lets you register

Note that this signal isn't currently used by Django itself, so changing
built-in settings may not yield the results you expect.

=========================== ========================
Overriden settings Data reset
=========================== ========================
USE_TZ, TIME_ZONE Databases timezone
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS Context processors cache
TEMPLATE_LOADERS Template loaders cache
SERIALIZATION_MODULES Serializers cache
LOCALE_PATHS, LANGUAGE_CODE Default translation and loaded translations
