Runtime error:App registry isn't ready yet

Question

I am trying to create a script that populates a database with test users. I am new to Django and Python. I keep on getting:

Runtime error: App registry isn\'         


        

Answer 1

I found out that if I run populate through the manage.py shell with the execfile() command then it runs properly. Everything needed to be setup before I start modifying the database or run outside code. Thanks to lanzz for the hint.
