DjangoTesting is part of my DjangoStuff project and is the start of a testing framework for Django, modeled after the testing framework that Ruby on Rails provides. Currently only model tests are implemented, request/response tests are planned.
The testing framework is built solely on unittest and django, so you don't need additional modules (besides my DjangoStuff project, of course). It provides python-based fixture notations (fixtures are just python classes with attributes in a DATA subclass) and a basic command line utility to make use of those tests and fixtures.
Tests and fixtures are stored in applications and projects, so you can have application specific tests (especially usefull with generic applications) and project-level tests that will integrate stuff over several applications.
I think a good testing framework would really be important for Django applications, especially for applications that should be shared between projects. But I do think that a good testing framework needs some banging on, too - so I started it as a small subproject on my own. But if it grows into something useful, I will opt for inclusion into Django trunk.

That looks very useful Hugo - I really think this is something that needs to be in the main trunk, and should by default create stub tests whenever you generate your models.
