[TIP] I need a DataSet fixture that points into its own table

This is a basic tree configuration:
class TreeData(fixture.DataSet):
class branch:
tag = 'branch'
class leaf_one:
tag = 'leaf_one'
owner = TreeData.branch
class leaf_two:
tag = 'leaf_two'
owner = TreeData.branch
Python doesn't like that because (unlike real languages) TreeData doesn't
appear in the lookup namespace until it's fully defined.
The work-around is to build a different suite for each tier of the tree:
class TreeData(fixture.DataSet):
class branch:
tag = 'branch'
class TreeLeafData(fixture.DataSet):
class leaf_one:
tag = 'leaf_one'
owner = TreeData.branch
class leaf_two:
tag = 'leaf_two'
owner = TreeData.branch
That's really tacky - is there a simpler fix?
(On a related note, how do I supply the tag='my name' automatically, from
the class name just above it?)
