Thats nice to hear. They're a recent addition, so its good to know that they are stable and fast under serious use. > >From what I understand, it takes JSON or XML files, but is it also > possible to do Rails-style dynamic fixtures? Django's fixtures framework uses the built-in serialization tools, so any supported serializer can be used as a fixture format. Out-of-the-box, this means JSON, XML, YAML (if you have PyYAML installed), and a Python-based syntax. However, you can also define your own serializer for some other format, and use that format if you want. > Would be nice to generate a fixture with a few lines of Python instead > of having to extract from an existing database etc. At present, ERb-style dynamic fixtures are not possible. However, it is an interesting idea. I've submitted it as ticket #3735; I'll try to get a discussion started in the developers forum.
