Cannot use Locust as a library in Django test framework - django

Question

I want to use Locust as a library in Django's Unittest framework, because I want Django (3.1.2) to create a temporary database for me to do the testing. However, I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't seem to be able to even import Locust, for example, the following test_locust.py, which does nothing, can already reproduce the error:
from django.test import TransactionTestCase
from locust.env import Environment
class MyTestCase(TransactionTestCase):
def test_cart(self):
pass
