I'm having a chicken-and-egg problem. So, I want to drop the test database, recreate it, sync it to the models, and then populate it with test data, ideally automatically because automatic tests are far more likely to get run.
If I want the drop and create commands to be generic, they need access to the current DATABASE_NAME, so they have to be called while the server or shell is running so that they pick up any --settings= options from the command line and know which database to use. But then I have to run syncdb, which I can't figure out how to run under program control. Well, I can, but it prints out all the stuff it would print if it was called on the command line and stops to ask if I want to create a superuser, which is kind of annoying in the middle of a test script. And then I need to be running under program control again to add all my test data to the the db. Please tell me that I'm overthinking this and there's some easy way out of this!
