Trying to define a constant with the value of model's class in the settings.py to provide a dynamically-defined FK for one of my models:
from catalog.models import Product
PRODUCT_MODEL = Product
No surprise it's leading to an AppRegistryNotReady exception:
django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.
since there was no call to django.setup() method.
If add :
import django
django.setup()
in front of the model's import, instead of AppRegistryNotReady exception, I'm getting
AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'PRODUCT_MODEL'
when using :
from django.conf import settings
...
product = models.ForeignKey(
settings.PRODUCT_MODEL,
related_name='order_items')
using Python 3.5 and Django 1.9.5.
You shouldn't import models or call
django.setup()in your settings file.Instead, use a string to refer to your model.
Then, in your models, you can use the setting.
