HitchDjango
HitchDjango is a plugin for the Hitch test framework that lets you run and
interact with Django as part of a test.
When the plugin starts Django, before running runserver, it will:

Check the version and fail if it is different to what is specified.
Run migrations (using manage.py migrate).
Get the URL using localhost + the specified port and put it in sites.site.
Install all specified Django fixtures.

Currently HitchDjango runs only on Django 1.8 and above. Please raise a ticket
if you need an earlier version.

$ hitch install hitchdjango
