As far as I know, you have to call `.follow()` on the response, which follows the redirect and returns the next response. Is that what you mean by "manually follow every redirect"? It's manual in a sense, but there is a convenience method to make it very easy. You can just change `login_form.submit()` to `login_form.submit().follow()`, you don't even need another line of code. I think this is better than the Django client's `follow=True`, because it means your test specifies the expected number of redirects, and will fail if the number of redirects changes unexpectedly. (You can check this with Django's test client by using the `redirect_chain` attribute, but usually people don't.)
