Re: django tests. where to create users

I use all solutions, depending on the needs.

When I'm testing a usage of many objects I use fixtures (also with users
as I'm "pretending" that users created them)

When there is a test involving a user I create this object, either in
test or the setUp.

There is no need to remove them
Just create a user in setUp if you need it for all tests, if for a part
of the tests only - create 2 test classes and create a user in one of
them only

I've got it as well - I don't create users there, but I've got a few
other methods which are useful for more than one app.

Is there a reason?
