Currently, Django uses PyYAML's SafeLoader to load fixtures which prevent to use some advance utils like
!!python/object/apply
. For example, to create dates related to the current date for example, and not static dates that you have to update over time so that they aren't too old.Anyway, there could be many reasons why a developer would want to use such an util in features. And I believe it should be safe to use UnsafeLoader for fixtures since this is certainly a data that developers create themselves.
