This gives the first hint as to what might be going on - where is the data2 fixture located? It's possible that the fixture that you think is being loaded isn't actually the one that is being loaded. The 'absolute path' message suggests that there is a data2 fixture in your project directory (i.e., the directory where manage.py is located). If budtype.json is actually .../app/fixtures/budtype.json, the actual error here could be that you have a stray data2 fixture that is being picked up by Django's fixture discovery procedure. You may well have a valid .../app/fixtures/data2.json, which is getting loaded successfully, but the version in your project directory is corrupted or invalid in some way, and is causing an error. > Below are two slices from the fixture that works (budtype.json) and > the one that chokes (data2.json).

I'm not sure why you feel these these two particular snippets are helpful - I can't see any difference, so the snippets are unlikely to be the cause of the problem. If the path issue I mentioned previously isn't the problem, the next step is to try and reduce your application to the simplest possible situation that will fail - that is, start deleting data, models, and fields until things start working; the last thing you delete will be the source of the problem. Sometimes, this process will reveal the blindingly obvious problem between the keyboard and chair :-) However, if it doesn't, the first step in providing a way for us to help you is to provide the simplest possible example that fails. Once we have a trivial example that we know fails, we can help point out the problem (either in your code or in Django).
