JSON schema does not validate against valid data (validictory)

The following data + JSON schema (generated from using JSON Schema Generator with the same data) is supposed to validate correctly. However instead I receive a valdation error here.

The validation is based on the validictory module.

import json
import validictory
import jsonschema

data = [{u'text': 
         u'<h1>The quick brown fox</h1>', 
         u'title': u'hello world', 
         u'location': u'Berlin', 
         u'created': u'2013-03-12T12:13:14'}]

schema = {
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-03/schema",
    "id": "http://jsonschema.net",
    "required": False,
    "type": "object" ,
    "properties": {
        "0" : {
            "id": "http://jsonschema.net/0",
            "required": False,
            "type": "object" ,
            "properties": {
                "created" : {
                    "id": "http://jsonschema.net/0/created",
                    "required": False,
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "location" : {
                    "id": "http://jsonschema.net/0/location",
                    "required": False,
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "text" : {
                    "id": "http://jsonschema.net/0/text",
                    "required": False,
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "title" : {
                    "id": "http://jsonschema.net/0/title",
                    "required": False,
                    "type": "string"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
print validictory.validate(data,schema)

validictory.validator.FieldValidationError: Value [{u'text': u'<h1>The quick brown fox</h1>', u'created': u'2013-03-12T12:13:14', u'location': u'Berlin', u'title': u'hello world'}] for field '_data' is not of type object

Your validation error tells you what the problem is...

It says Value [{u'text': u'<h1>The quick brown fox</h1>', u'created': u'2013-03-12T12:13:14', u'location': u'Berlin', u'title': u'hello world'}] for field '_data' is not of type object, which it isn't, it's a list. You need to validate its contents i.e. data[0], not the whole list.

Also, it looks like you generated this schema before jsonschema.net fixed how they use id, which was incorrect under the spec, so you probably want to remove thoseid properties.
