Snippet List
This is a modification of http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1707/ that handles the database going down or PG Bouncer killing the connection. This also works in things like Twisted to make sure the connection is alive before doing a real query. Thanks @mike_tk for the original post!
EDIT: Updated the wrapper to handle multi-db. Before it was using the first connection it made, now it creates an attribute name for the connection based on the name of the database.

This allows you to exclude certain apps when doing standard tests (manage.py test) by default. You set the settings/local_settings variable EXCLUDE_APPS and it will exclude those apps (like django, registration, south... etc). This makes running tests much faster and you don't have to wait for a bunch of tests you don't care about (per say).
You can override it by adding the app to the command line still. So if 'south' is in the excluded apps you can still run:
'python manage.py test south'
and it will run the south tests.
You will also need to tell django to use this as the test runner:
TEST_RUNNER = 'testing.simple.AdvancedTestSuiteRunner'
Allow you to specify a "General case formset/modelformset" and then alter the attributes of that formset, specificly: extra, can_order, can_delete and max_num.
So you specify:
>>> formset = AuthorFormSet(queryset=Author.objects.filter(name__startswith='O'))
and then you want to dynamically add multiple fields with javascript and save the new ones. By default a formset only has 1 extra field. With this you can return a new formset (using the same queryset, forms, formset base class, etc) but with different attributes. So you could then add 10 extra fields if the user added 10 new forms.

This allows you to access the choices (and their respective values) you create as a dictionary. It works great within django and it allows you to reference the choices as a dictionary (CHOICES[CHOICE1]) instead of CHOICES[0][0]... it is a tuple... but I mean, come on... what if you change the order? If you need the tuple just call CHOICES.choices and it will return the standard tuple.
Ok... this is really a hack. But I love it. I hate setting up all of my test cases into suites, and making sure that I remember to add them each time I add a new python file... annoying! This allows me to have a tests package and then just add python files and packages to that test package (mirroring my app setup). Each of the files are then dynamically imported and every test case is automatically executed. If you don't want one to execute, add it to the ignore list. If you add 'views' to the ignore list, it will ignore all views, otherwise you would have to specify 'package.views' if it is in a package.
So... in short this is a bit ghetto, but it saves me a lot of time just setting up all my tests... now I can just write them! Hope it's useful to someone.
