Running tests with database 'postgresql'
Creating test database
The test database, django_test_db, already exists. Type 'yes' to delete it, or 'no' to cancel: yes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ""runtests.py"", line 217, in ?
    t.run_tests()
  File ""runtests.py"", line 107, in run_tests

}}}
Initially it says that the test database already exist, then that does not exist, and this happens because cursor.execute(""CREATE DATABASE %s"" % TEST_DATABASE_NAME), surrounded by a try/except (the except is naked), raises an exception (psycopg.!ProgrammingError: ERROR:  source database ""template1"" is being accessed by other users) that will remain hidden behind another kind of problem. I hope my considerations make sense.

I don't know why this exception is raised, probably it is a problem in my setup (restarting postgres makes the testsuite run fine), but it would much better if the real source of the problem could at least emerge.
