Description

The current version of the docs (Initial Data HOWTO) suggest inital_data should have a .yml file extension in order to be used with manage.py syncdb.
However, this file is not detected - the correct extension appears to be .yaml:

Saving an "initial_data.yml" file gives the following relevant lines when used with manage.py syncdb --verbosity=2:

Checking '../tgt/reviews/fixtures' for fixtures...
Trying '../tgt/reviews/fixtures' for xml fixture 'initial_data'...
No yaml fixture 'initial_data' in '../tgt/reviews/fixtures'.

Saving an "initial_data.yaml" file gives the following relevant lines when used with manage.py syncdb --verbosity=2

Checking '../tgt/reviews/fixtures' for fixtures...
Trying '../tgt/reviews/fixtures' for yaml fixture 'initial_data'...
Installing yaml fixture 'initial_data' from '../tgt/reviews/fixtures'.
