8532	Using Yaml format in Fixtures	amiroff	nobody	"By default, loaddata command only looks for xml and json fixtures.
Documentation at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/#providing-initial-data-with-fixtures also mentions YAML format as being supported out of the box.

That is not true and misleading. At least on windows, PyYaml (http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML) must be installed on system for Django to look for .yaml files in fixture directories. 

I think that should be documented, because new users can waste lots of hours wondering why their fixtures do not get loaded.

Also, using loaddata with --verbosity=2 can help diagnosing the problem. Mentioning this on documentation page could be a good step."		closed	Documentation	dev		fixed	fixtures loaddata yml yaml	amiroff@…	Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
