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.
Since it triggers imports, it shouldn't be done lightly.
This commit adds a public API for doing it explicitly, django.setup(),
and does it automatically when using manage.py and wsgi.py.
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.
ContentTypes are only created for installed applications, and I could
make a case for not returning a model that isn't installed any more.
The check for stale ContentTypes in update_contenttypes doesn't use
model_class.
ModelSignal actually needs get_registered_model since the lookup happens
at import time. I took this opportunity to perform a small refactoring.
This removes the gap between the master app registry and ad-hoc app
registries created by the migration framework, specifically in terms
of behavior of the get_model[s] methods.
This commit contains a stealth feature that I'd rather not describe.
This is to provide a consistent interface (namely bytes) for the smtp
backend which after all sends bytes over the wire; encoding with as_string
yields different results since mails as unicode are not really specified.
as_string stays for backwardscompatibilty mostly and some debug outputs.
But keep in mind that the output doesn't match as_bytes!
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.
* Introduced [un]set_installed_apps to handle changes to the
INSTALLED_APPS setting.
* Refactored [un]set_available_apps to share its implementation
with [un]set_installed_apps.
* Implemented a receiver to clear some app-related caches.
* Removed test_missing_app as it is basically impossible to reproduce
this situation with public methods of the new app cache.
Currently such overrides aren't reflected in the app cache.
It would be possible to handle them. But that doesn't look like a very
good API. It makes it complicated to express "add this app" and "remove
this app", which are the most common operations on INSTALLED_APPS.
- Tested consistency the current app_configs instead of INSTALLED_APPS.
- Considered applications added with _with_app as available.
- Added docstrings.
