Create the data in the corresponding setUp, and then clean it up in the tearDown, I guess. > How do I abort changes made by a test in a unittest.TestCase sublcasses > tearDown method? What I ended up doing was clearing out the tables modified by the test and re-running the initialization code from websetup.py. It was expensive (perhaps 600 ms) but worked fine. I believe there are libraries out there for managing SQL database test fixtures. I'm not personally familiar with any of them.
