#4301: "manage.py loaddata" cannot work with python dumps (but tries hard 
anyway)

 If you use dumppdata with --format=python and then try to load the result
 with loaddata, it fails with an error about using non-ints as string
 offsets inside serializers.python.Deserializer.
 
 This actually makes sense. although it took me more than a couple of
 minutes to realise it.  In core.management we are reading the input file
 and passing it to the deserializer, but the deserializer for python
 assumes the input is a python object, not a string (a good thing; we don't
 eval() untrusted code).
 
 We should probably just abort with a sensible error is loaddata tries to
 use the python format, because the current error message looks like it
 should work but there is something wrong with the dump.
 
 Assigning to Russell, just for laughs, since he's been playing in this
 area a lot of late and might have some bright ideas.
