./manage.py dumpdata app --format=python > app/fixtures/1.python

When loading the app I get the error message:[[BR]]
{{{
$ ./manage.py loaddata 1.python
Loading '2' fixtures...
Installing python fixture '2' from 'app/fixtures'.
Problem installing fixture 'app/fixtures/2.python': string indices must be integers
}}}

The problem is that the python deserializer is trying to loop over a string and not python objects.

I've attached a hack to fix the problem, I was unsure of the best place to put the patch so I added it to !__init!__.py, please advise on better placement."		closed	Core (Other)	dev		wontfix	serializers sprintdec01	django@…	Design decision needed	1	0	0	0	0	0
