    Djblets ships with a custom MySQL backend, which is designed to address
    some limitations in older versions of Django. It inherits from the
    Django MySQL backend, which will raise an ImproperlyConfigured when
    the mysqlclient dependency is missing. Unfortunately, since this is no
    longer a development requirement for Djblets, it means we end up with
    one general error (not tied to a test) during test discovery.

    While raising ImproperlyConfigured is more correct, we're addressing
    this by always allowing the module to import and to just inherit from
    object if the parent class cannot be loaded. This fixes unit tests,
    and if the dependency is missing in production, the backend will really
    just flat-out break.

    Unit tests pass with and without mysqlclient installed.
