string indices must be integers, not str during YAML deserialization

Traceback:
Problem installing fixture 'data\init.yaml': Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\commands\loaddata.p

    Model = _get_model(d["model"])
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:

Sorry, I realized that I can't use ''' inside code snippet, please disregard it around:
'''[yaml.load(stream),]'''
