    fixtures = ['some.json']

    def test_fixtures(self):

Same error on Ubuntu 10.04 with Django 1.2.3.

1. python2.5 manage.py shell
2. Create some data in the datastore. Anything so that it's not empty.
3. python2.5 manage.py dumpdata --indent 4 > 
apps/exersize/fixtures/exersizes.json
4. Some manual modifications to the json so that it behaves with my 
StringListProperty.
5. python2.5 manage.py loaddata apps/exersize/fixtures/exersizes.json

Problem installing fixture 
'/home/chris/devspace/fitnesshacking/gae/apps/exersize/fixtures/exersizes.json':
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/chris/devspace/fitnesshacking/gae/django.zip/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 172, in handle
    obj.save(using=using)
TypeError: save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'using'

I've gotten past the error by modifying 'appengine_django/__init__.py' on line 
333.

def save(self, save_m2m=True):
becomes
def save(self, save_m2m=True, using=None):

I proceed to not do anything with the 'using' parameter (same as the existing 
save_m2m). It looks related to Django 1.2's new multi database support and thus 
irrelevant to app engine. Caveat Emptor.
