You didn't say what exactly happens. If it's failing with a NameError,
notice that you forgot to specify self.assertEqual().
There's no implicit "this" like in Java.
And as others have mentioned, vars() is rarely used in practice.
And if there's a problem, it'll be hard to see what's wrong.
It's more tedious but ultimately more helpful to specify everything:
self.assertEqual(mo.foo, saved_mo.foo)
self.assertEqual(mo.bar, saved_mo.bar)
... and so forth.
Also, as a fellow django noob I'm not sure about this, but I seem to
recall that mo and saved_mo should be exactly the same object?
If that's true (hopefully somebody will correct me if not), it's kind
of a silly test; you might instead just do
self.failUnless(mo is saved_mo)
