I`m looking into new ways to unittest my django code. The reason for this is that I find it cumbersome to always have to set up a real database, allthough using sqlite and :memory: makes it relatively easy, I was wondering if anybody has done it using mock/fake objects like Fudge? Writing unittests that involves using the django orm is a hassle. I`ve included my way of doing this at the bottom and would like comments on how to improve. Running it like this means it cannot be automated because the script asks for confirmation about creating a super-user.
