Comment (by julien):
I've spent some time trying to make it work for in-memory sqlite databases
but unfortunately it looks like this may not be achievable. So, as
suggested by Almad, I've made it to skip the tests in that case.
Also, you'll note that `LiveServerTestCase` now inherits from
`TransactionTestCase` instead of `TestCase`. The problem with `TestCase`
is that changes are not committed and therefore the live server's database
connection can't have access to them since it uses a different cursor.
Finally, I've made the live server serve media files by introducing a new
`MediaFilesHandler` class based on `StaticFilesHandler`. Maybe there's a
better approach so, as always, any feedback is welcome! :)
PS: Tom, I've had some issues applying your previous patch. In particular
some new files seemed to be missing. Are you creating the diff from the
working directory? If so, I usually achieve this by staging all the files
I want to diff and then by running: `git diff --staged > mypatch.diff`.
Although it feels there has to be a better way!
