+Fixtures, reusable state for writing clean tests and more.
+
+Fixtures defines a Python contract for reusable state / support logic,
+primarily for unit testing. Helper and adaption logic is included to make
+it easy to write your own fixtures using the fixtures contract. Glue code
+is provided that makes using fixtures that meet the Fixtures contract in
+unittest compatible test cases easy and straight forward.
+
+Note:
+There is a cyclic dependency between testtools package and fixtures package.
+Since these are python libraries, one has to just install both of them.
