Django fixtures not accepting YAML?

$ python manage.py loaddata fixtures/initial_data.yaml 
Problem installing fixture 'fixtures/initial_data': yaml is not a known serialization format.

$ python manage.py loaddata fixtures/initial_data.yml 
Problem installing fixture 'fixtures/initial_data': yml is not a known serialization format.

According to Django documentation this format should be supported, but I get the above errors. JSON on the other hand works ok.

Django version:

django.VERSION (1, 3, 1, 'final', 0)

.yaml is what you want. Make sure YAML is installed and available to Python by running:

> pip install pyyaml
