Description
If I setup a django test runner for pytest and start pytest with python manage.py test, DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in configurations such as setup.cfg or pytest.ini does not work since DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is already loaded in manage.py
Any solutions for this? Thanks!

Research direction
Reproduce the setup using manage.py, django-admin, pytest, and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in setup.cfg or pytest.ini; start by comparing how the setting is loaded in each entry point. Done means the configuration-file setting is honored when running the Django pytest workflow, with the behavior covered by a regression test.
