"""Mixin to reset urls.py before and after a test
Django memoizes the function that reads the urls module (whatever module
urlconf names). The module itself is also stored by python in sys.modules.
To fully reload it, we need to reload the python module, and also clear django's
cache of the parsed urls.
However, the order in which we do this doesn't matter, because neither one will
get reloaded until the next request
Doing this is expensive, so it should only be added to tests that modify settings
that affect the contents of urls.py
