Next step then would be to import into the handler of your test code,
the module which you specify needs to be imported in order to make
use of Django. If done in the test handler function, accessing the
test URL will cause it to be imported and if it does crash at that point
you have confirmed that it is the actual import of the Django stuff that
is the problem. If that is confirmed, then look internally at Django and
see what module it imports, and instead of importing the Django top  
level
module, import what it imports. Gradually reduce the set of imports  
until
it stops crashing so as to find the specific module that causes the
problem. Drop down further into modules and look at their imports as
necessary.

This sort of process of elimination is the only way you are going to
be able to narrow it down. Unless you can determine precisely which
module is the issue, we aren't really going to be able to help.
