Answer 1

Got the same issue, and since it happens on ./manage.py test, your migrations may be broken.
Since Django 1.7, there is a new setting called MIGRATION_MODULES, in which you configure your app's migration modules.
Adding the following workaround in settings.py (found here) skips migrations on tests, and solved it for me:

class DisableMigrations(object):

    def __contains__(self, item):
        return True

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return "notmigrations"

MIGRATION_MODULES = DisableMigrations()
