Replying to [comment:3 Simon Charette]:

running multiple test suites against the same checkout of a projects.
We are using Django as a CMS for 14 different websites, and the nature of
that beast is a lot of separate apps, each with their own separate test
suites. Being able to run app tests in parallel saves us a bunch of time,
but this database thing is a bit of a thorn in our side.
I think there's also some (probably minor) security risks around Django
simply dumping it's databases copies in the current working directory. For
one the directory might not actually be writable. If it is writable, it
may contain other `.sqlite3` files that aren't meant to be overwritten
(Django does not seem to check whether the DBs are its own and will
happily overwrite existing ones).
Personally I'd be happy if there was at least a way to specify where
Django should store the files, but there seems to be no other option than
to use the current working dir.
