tried out a new test fixtures library for a new project at work. fills in sqlite tables for me based on my sqlalchemy setup, and also gets my plain-object access to the same data for verification. yay!

knocked out a bunch of simple tests, then went to try something that required (nominally supported) model relationships. oh, look a stack trace coming from the fixture setup call.

*goes to google some more*

*vows to tracer-bullet all needed functionality in new libraries next time*
