I'm in the dilemma of using both - Django and Twisted. My goal is to have Django initialising the test (python manage.py test <appname>), instead of trial, as it will setup the whole test environment (I.e. Creates a db copy, allows per-model testing, follows certain conventions, etc).
As to that I'm trying to find a way how to start/stop the reactor from the test, as trial is not executed. Do you have an idea or an approach how this could be realised?
