----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 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.
