When I run my tests in a python script it modifies my production database. If I run from the command line it doesn't. When I say modify, it wipes out my existing users and replaces them with the users I create for testing.
I followed this for the setup: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/testing/#django.test.LiveServerTestCase I created a <setUp> to setup users. When I run this the production database isn't modified: python2.7 manage.py test yPayment In my python script I have: from django.utils import unittest class yPaymentTest(LiveServerTestCase) ... suite_payment = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(yPaymentTest) unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite_payment) Here is the full output from the command line [brian@centos-dv7 yPaymentProj]$ /usr/local/python2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virt_env/django1p4/bin/python2.7 manage.py test yPayment Creating test database for alias 'default'...

This is a similar problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17435155/django-functional-liveservertestcase-after-submitting-form-with-selenium-obje but it doesn't apply since I'm using self.live_server_url instead of hard coding a url.
