Description

I have a subclass of Django's TransactionTestCase, and I would also like to be able to specify my own subclass of Client to use as the test's client. However, at the moment, this requires me to basically copy-and-paste all of the code out of the TransactionTestCase's __call__ method, as the Client class is hard-coded into that function. This also makes the use of super on the subclasses' __call__ method impossible, as the client instance variable would just be reset to an instance of Client by TransactionTestCase.

If it were made to be a class variable, subclasses could easily change this without having to override the __call__ method. I've attached a diff proposal.

I'd rather see this as an overridable method on the class, rather than a class attribute.
