There’s a settings variable you can use called FIXTURE_DIRS. In Django 1.6, this is a list of the directories that will be searched for fixtures, in addition to any directory called ‘fixtures’ in the root of the app. FIXTURE_DIRS is an empty tuple by default.

You can’t prevent the ‘fixtures’ directory being searched, so make sure you don’t have a directory by that name. Instead, create a directory for your fixtures and give it any other name. I’ll call mine ‘my-fixtures’ in the example below.

Now since you’ve already checked whether or not DEBUG is true, you can add two lines to the end of settings.py:

if DEBUG:
    FIXTURE_DIRS = ['my-fixtures']
