loading python fixtures is broken

[donlaverty]

Reproduce:
Use this fixture:

[{"pk": "1", "model": "main.category", "fields": {"link_name": "all", "name": "\/", "parent": null, "description": ""}}, {"pk": "2", "model": "main.category", "fields": {"link_name": "accessoires", "name": "Accessoires", "parent": 1, "description": ""}}, {"pk": "3", "model": "main.category", "fields": {"link_name": "art_and_design", "name": "Art & Design", "parent": 1, "description": ""}}]

with this model:

class Category(models.Model):
    class Admin:
        pass

    class Meta:
        ordering =['name']

    name        = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
    link_name   = models.SlugField(unique=True)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
    parent      = models.ForeignKey('self',blank=True,null=True)

    
    def tree(self,tree=[]):
        tree.append( self )
        children = self.category_set.all()
        child_tree = []
        for c in children:
            if c.name != '/':
                c.tree(child_tree)
        if not child_tree == []:
            tree.append(child_tree)
        return tree

    def link(self):
        return str(self)[2:]

    def __str__(self):
        if not self.parent  :
            return self.name
        return str(self.parent) + '/' + self.name

now try to load it via syncdb

(while you are at it you could clarify in the documentation that python fixtures need to carry the extension .python

sorry, i ignored the wiki syntax - my ticket is barely readable - so once more:
