if you don't want to use --noreload you can:

replace the line in your app's __init__.py that you use to specify the config:

default_app_config = 'mydjangoapp.apps.MydjangoappConfig'

by this:

import os

if os.environ.get('RUN_MAIN', None) != 'true':
    default_app_config = 'mydjangoapp.apps.MydjangoappConfig'
