Django 1.7 upgrade error: AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet

Question

I am trying to upgrade a project from Django 1.6 to 1.7. I get the following error:

[Thu Oct 09 14:16:41 2014] [error] [client 95.79.172.156] mod_wsgi (pid=1         


        

Answer 1

I was looking through all these thread to get celery working on windows (with this particular error message) and I just want to emphasize putting

import django
django.setup()

at the top of your tasks.py file, this is finally what got it working for me.

Answer 2

I got this error when I tried to import models from the app's __init__.py, which is not possible.
