So, I haven't had this problem specifically, but all the tests I've written don't make changes to DJANGO_PATH or os.environ. I believe the test runner takes care of this automatically.
If your tests are in project/app/tests.py and you're running them with: python manage.py test you should be ok if you remove the path/environ lines.
