Django test with a model called TestCase

I have a model called TestCase (I know....), and I'd like to test it in my suite of tests.

class TestTestCase(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.test_case = mommy.make('main.TestCase')

    def test_property1(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.test_case.property1, 'foo_bar')

Running my test, I get :

RuntimeError: Conflicting 'c' models in application 'nose': <class 'main.models.TestCase'> and <class 'nose.util.C'>.

How can I make these kind of tests pass without renaming my model?

When importing a Python module, Python allows you to alter the imported name in order to avoid name conflicts:

from x2 import y
from x import y as z

Then you will be able to refer to the imported module x.y as z without conficting with the x2.y module.
