Django Apps aren't loaded yet: How to import models












0














I have a Django project looking like



> project
> gui
> __init__.py
> models.py
> views.py
> ...
> project
__init__.py
...


I am trying to sync the sqllite db in django with some info I periodically query from other sources. So in project.init.py I spawn a thread that periodically queries data.
However, I am having trouble accessing my models from there and update the database, because when I try to import them into init.py



from gui.models import GuiModel


I get



django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.


Is there a trick to do that or a different way to create a separate thread?

          From the Django Official Doc, If you’re using components of Django “standalone” you should follow something like this,



          import sys
          import os
          import django

          sys.path.append("/path/to/project") # here project is root folder(means parent).
          os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "store.settings")
          django.setup()

          from gui.models import GuiModel

          # do something here with models

            thanks, that works. Actually, it appears that with that folder structure, all it takes is to run django.setup()

          If you send all details correctly, I think you have a circular import in your code. simple way is to to move import into your function.



          also you can create a custom command in your project and add a cronjob to your server to do this works.
