Django upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9 is breaking on model import in init

问题

I have run into the same problem that @JohnnyQ has commented on here.
My __init__.py is referring to multiple imports that in-turn are referring to models and these are required.

The code works perfectly fine with django 1.8.x but breaks when Django is upgraded to 1.9.x.

I am guessing it to be some class-loading sequence issue. What has changed in 1.9 w.r.t to model imports in apps triggering the AppRegistryNotReady exception?

The traceback is here:

回答1:

Django 1.9 introduced app registry, which is initialized in 3 steps as mentioned in the documentation.

First, it imports all items in INSTALLED_APPS. At this stage, code shouldn’t import any models.
Second, Django attempts to import the models submodule of each application, if they are present.
Third, Django runs .ready() on each app config.

In core/__init__.py, there is care_team import which is, in turn, importing this from django.contrib.auth.models import User. This model import should be avoided at app level initialization.

This should be loaded lazily. Or code needs to be refactored such that no model will be imported during app initialization.
