bugzilla_unitest.py needs to know how to run a local bugzilla instance I've never set up bugzilla before. :) But I do believe it should be possible for us to run a local instance from our python unit tests so that we can test the functions in bugzilla.py against a live instance. I ran ./BugsSite/checksetup.pl once to learn that we'll need a whole bunch of perl modules installed on any machine that wants to run bugzilla. :(
This doesn't block bug 27977, but is related.

Having bugs in the database would be handy as well, but you might be able to come up with a way to mirror a small subset of bugs from bugs.webkit.org with the WebServices API.
We can easily dump some bugs into some fixture files though. I bet it's possible to run mysql with some flat-file backends. I had thought mysql came installed on mac os x, but I guess not.
