Question

For a Django test I'd like to load a fixture, which is in a csv file. What is the best way to do that?

Django's built-in fixtures functionality doesn't support CSV. You'd need to process the file automatically using the csv module, probably in the test's setUp method.

Obviously this is many years late, but for anyone still looking for something like this, the [django-excel-fixture](https://github.com/SKisContent/django-excel-fixture) may do the trick. You can use native xlsx files. – Sushil Jun 15 '18 at 10:50

For easier reuse I'd suggest my Django-PyFixture library. You'd then program your fixture in raw python, but it would semantically look like one more fixture.
