I just got burned when loading a large fixture file: the loading of the
file caused email confirmations for registration for an event that was
held last year to be sent again because the sending of the confirmations
happened in a post_save signal.
Without debating the merits of signals (this code should obviously not
have been put into a signal), as a feature request, I would like to see
loaddata check for the possible execution of signals. If possible
execution of signals is detected, then loaddata should stop running and
display a message that signals might be triggered. The user could then
either temporarily comment out any signals in the code and re-run loaddata
(likely the most desired behavior), or they should be required to specify
an override flag if re-executing loaddata without commenting out signals
(something like loaddata fixture_name --execute-signals).

Comment:
Duplicate of #8399. You may use `raw` to disable the handler during
fixture loading, see [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-
admin/#what-s-a-fixture docs] and #20136.
