Hi, Jeff/Kumar,
I'm all for this kind of thing, but did the name have to be "fixture"?
Isn't this going to get kind of confusing?
"Oh, did the fixture use the fixture to put the data in the database, or
do we need to add that functionality to the fixture?"
(Sometimes I think my habit of free-associating my python package names
simplifies matters -- e.g. twill. That way, if there's any confusion,
it's at least unrelated to domain-specific keywords!)
