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.
This (nearly) completes the work to isolate all the test modules from
each other. This is now more important as importing models from another
module will case PendingDeprecationWarnings if those modules are not in
INSTALLED_APPS. The only remaining obvious dependencies are:
- d.c.auth depends on d.c.admin (because of the is_admin flag to some
views), but this is not so important and d.c.admin is in
always_installed_apps
- test_client_regress depends on test_client. Eventually these should
become a single module, as the split serves no useful purpose.
Improved Andrew's hack to create temporary app caches to handle
migrations. Now the main app cache has a "master" flag set to True
(which is a non-default keyword argument, thus unlikely to be used by
mistake). Other app cache instances have "master" set to False.
The only sanctioned way to access the app cache is by importing
django.core.apps.app_cache.
If you were instanciating an app cache and relying on the Borg pattern,
you'll have to refactor your code.
