These are available in Rails; Rails fixture files (in YAML) can have embedded Ruby commands in them, so: {{{ <% for i in 1..1000 %> fix_<%= i %>: id: <%= i %> name: guy_<%= 1 %> <% end %> }}} would define a fixture with 1000 instances of an object. Django fixtures would benefit from having a similar capability. Using ERb is out of the question, but the Django template system could be a candidate for providing logic to _any_ fixture format.
