For Django projects I like Model Mommy
https://github.com/vandersonmota/model_mommy

My main likes
- It can create instances, with and without touching the database
- It generates required data, that I don't care about for the current
  test.
- A clean API, and a willingess to clean up ugly bits:
https://github.com/vandersonmota/model_mommy/pull/124

I wish I had more time to work on that :)

The data generation feature has actually uncovered fallacies in my code.
IIRC somethin like a missing validator.

These kind of notices always make me think of the first phrase that made
me notice self-reference: "Wie dit leest is gek."
