This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
In get_commands, setup() might already have been called, for example
when the management command is called through call_command. Moving
setup() to ManagementUtility so as it is only called when the command
is run from command line.
Now that the refactorings are complete, it isn't particularly useful any
more, nor very well named. Let's keep the API as simple as possible.
Fixed#21689.
Returning None on errors required unpythonic error checking and was
inconsistent with get_app_config.
get_model was a private API until the previous commit, but given that it
was certainly used in third party software, the change is explained in
the release notes.
Applied the same change to get_registered_model, which is a new private
API introduced during the recent refactoring.
The last component of the dotted path to the application module is
consistently referenced as the application "label". For instance it's
AppConfig.label. appname could be confused with AppConfig.name, which is
the full dotted path.
Took this opportunity to change get_app[s] to only consider applications
containing a model module as that seems slightly more backwards compatible.
Since callers that care about models pass only_with_models_module=True,
this has very few consequences. Only AppCommand needed a change.
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
