Documentation: http://pytest-django.rtfd.org/
Quick Start
pip install pytest-django
Make sure DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is defined and and run tests with the py.test command.
(Optionally) If you put your tests under a tests directory (the standard Django application layout), and your files are not named test_FOO.py, see the FAQ
Documentation
Why would I use this instead of Django’s manage.py test command?
Running the test suite with pytest offers some features that are not present in Djangos standard test mechanism:
Less boilerplate: no need to import unittest, create a subclass with methods. Just write tests as regular functions.
Database re-use: no need to re-create the test database for every test run.
Run tests in multiple processes for increased speed
There are a lot of other nice plugins available for pytest.
Easy switching: Existing unittest-style tests will still work without any modifications.
See the pytest documentation for more information on pytest.
