The behavior I was seeing was as if the tests where run without using manage.py. My app tests at this point are very simple. I use a fixture to load data to do the view tests but don't explictly delete anything from the tables.
I did basically what you suggested. You can set up the environment variables that PyDev uses for unit tests and it can be different from the regular running environment so I'm setting it to an explicit settings.py module where sqlite3 is used. I need to learn more about how PyDev runs it's unit tests. That will be my next step. Thanks for the advice.
