initial_data is intended for data that must _always_ be in your database.
If you have a need for data for a particular test that isn't required
for normal operation, put it in a different fixture name, and direct
Django to load that fixture during testing. To do this, use a Django
TestCase, defining a fixtures attribute:
from django.test import TestCase
class MyTest(TestCase):
fixtures = ['test_data.json']
def test_something(self):
...
In this example, 'test_data.json' will be loaded into the database
before running the test_something testcase.
