3625	Test fixtures cause load_data to fail with Python 2.3	ned.phillips@…	Adrian Holovaty	"Database sync (sqlite) fails when trying to load initial data (in this case there is none). The error appears to stem from rsplit which is used in source:trunk/django/core/management.py and was introduced in [4659] with the test fixtures framework. I'm using the stock OS X Python (2.3.5) over here and I believe this function was introduced in 2.4.

Error:
