Simon Charette 3cf80d3fcf Fixed #31395 -- Made setUpTestData enforce in-memory data isolation.
Since it's introduction in Django 1.8 setUpTestData has been suffering
from a documented but confusing caveat due to its sharing of attributes
assigned during its execution with all test instances.

By keeping track of class attributes assigned during the setUpTestData
phase its possible to ensure only deep copies are provided to test
instances on attribute retreival and prevent manual setUp gymnastic to
work around the previous lack of in-memory data isolation.

Thanks Adam Johnson for the extensive review.

The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using any text file viewer.

It uses ReST (reStructuredText), and the Sphinx documentation system. This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing.

To create an HTML version of the docs:

  • Install Sphinx (using python -m pip install Sphinx or some other method).
  • In this docs/ directory, type make html (or make.bat html on Windows) at a shell prompt.

The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser.
