Any hints on how I could do this?
You shouldn't. Code shouldn't be aware that it is being run in a test. Introducing 'if TESTING' branches into code introduces extra complexity into the code you are trying to test - complexity that, by definition, is untestable. If you need to modify a setting for testing purposes, then do the same thing that the Django test suite does - in your test setUp() method, modify the value of the setting, then restore the original value during tearDown().
