string indices must be integers, not str during YAML deserialization

Traceback:
Problem installing fixture 'data\init.yaml': Traceback (most recent call last):

for obj in PythonDeserializer(objs, options):

Model = _get_model(dmodel)

TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str

I made the following change to pyyaml.py and it fixed the problem:

def Deserializer(stream_or_string, **options):
    """
    Deserialize a stream or string of YAML data.
    """
    if isinstance(stream_or_string, basestring):
        stream = StringIO(stream_or_string)
    else:
        stream = stream_or_string
    for obj in PythonDeserializer('''[yaml.load(stream),]''', **options):
        yield obj

I'm running Windows XP SP3 with this version of pyyaml:
