There will be many reason to causes to populate() isn't reentrant error. If you look at the registry.py in your in django application probably inside this directory
/python2.7/site-packages/django/apps

        # app_config should be pristine, otherwise the code below won't
        # guarantee that the order matches the order in INSTALLED_APPS.
        if self.app_configs:
            raise RuntimeError("populate() isn't reentrant")

As you see in the comment it says app_config should be pristine. Which means if one of configuration is not correct or required library missing it will rise this populate error. I got this error because I have missed sqlite installation. Even as you see there is no mentioning possible causes in the exception. I installed sqlite by this command on debian

pip install pysqlite

It solved my problem. My exception because of missing pysqlite.Your maybe having missing of another required packages or errors in your settings.py
