This makes it equivalent to: `from django.contrib.auth.models import User`.
Thanks Aymeric Augustin for the initial patch and Tim Graham for the
review.
This allows bringing back the behavior of Django < 1.7.
Also fixed the check for the app registry being ready in
AppConfig.get_model(s), which was inconsistent with the equivalent check in
Apps.get_model(s). That part is a backwards-incompatible change.
It was inconsistent with the equivalent check in Apps.get_model(s)
because I made incorrect assumptions when I wrote that code and
needlessly complicated readiness checks.
This is a backwards-incompatible change.
"Gypsy" is considered a slur by the Romani people whom it refers to.
"manouche jazz" is used in place of "gypsy jazz" and is an accepted
term for the same genre of music.
Most likely this is a losing fight -- people seem to love this small
convention -- but at least the reasons for avoiding it will be
documented.
Refs #25356.
Wherever possible this filesystem path is derived automatically from the app
module's ``__path__`` and ``__file__`` attributes (this avoids any
backwards-compatibility problems).
AppConfig allows specifying an app's filesystem location explicitly, which
overrides all autodetection based on ``__path__`` and ``__file__``. This
permits Django to support any type of module as an app (namespace packages,
fake modules, modules loaded by other hypothetical non-filesystem module
loaders), as long as the app is configured with an explicit filesystem path.
Thanks Aymeric for review and discussion.
Also document the conditions under which a namespace package may or may not be
a Django app, and raise a clearer error message in those cases where it may not
be.
Thanks Aymeric for review and consultation.
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.
