auto generate "dummy" content (e.g. Lorem ipsum generator for Django)

[Brad Buran]

Is there any easy way of generating dummy content for models in Django?  As I'm learning how to use Django, I often find myself deleting the sqlite database and running syncdb each time (rather than dealing with the issues of manual schema migration each time I make a change to my models).  As part of this, I'd like to regenerate some dummy content so I can test the various views and templates quickly.  It seems pretty straightforward: the model.*Fields can give the necessary clues as to the content that can be generated.  Before I start writing this, I thought I'd check to see if anyone has done something similar.  I tried searching for a similar app, but couldn't find anything.

Of course, a couple other things to look at that might save you from
needing to regenerate the content:

Fixtures: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/
South: http://south.aeracode.org/

I just started using south, and it really cleans up the database
schema change workflow.
