17647	Documentation Bug: override_settings() not in 1.30	glen@…	nobody	"According to the documentation for Django 1.3 (confirmed Django 1.3 in 'Version' drop down box on page load):

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/

In case you want to override a setting for just one test method or even the whole TestCase class, Django provides the override_settings() decorator (see PEP 318). It's used like this:
...
from django.test.utils import override_settings

However, this is not available in 1.3


{{{

}}}

I have verified, however, that this is available in 1.4 Alpha:
{{{

}}}

Therefore, this is just a documentation error for version."	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.3	Normal	invalid	override_settings		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	1	0
