Django 1.7 loads application configurations and models as soon as it starts.
While this behavior is more straightforward and is believed to be more robust,
-regressions cannot be ruled out. You may encounter the following exceptions:
-
-* ``RuntimeError: App registry isn't ready yet.`` This happens when importing
- an application configuration or a models module triggers code that depends
- on the app registry.
-
- For example, :func:`~django.utils.translation.ugettext()` uses the app
- registry to look up translation catalogs in applications. To translate at
- import time, you need :func:`~django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy()`
- instead. (Using :func:`~django.utils.translation.ugettext()` would be a bug,
- because the translation would happen at import time, rather than at each
- request depending on the active language.)
-
- Executing database queries with the ORM at import time in models modules
- will also trigger this exception. The ORM cannot function properly until all
- models are available.
-
- Another common culprit is :func:`django.contrib.auth.get_user_model()`. Use
- the :setting:`AUTH_USER_MODEL` setting to reference the User model at import
- time.
-
-* ``ImportError: cannot import name ...`` This happens if the import sequence
- ends up in a loop.
-
- To eliminate such problems, you should minimize dependencies between your
- models modules and do as little work as possible at import time. To avoid
- executing code at import time, you can move it into a function and cache its
- results. The code will be executed when you first need its results. This
- concept is known as "lazy evaluation".
-
-* ``django.contrib.admin`` will now automatically perform autodiscovery of
- ``admin`` modules in installed applications. To prevent it, change your
- :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` to contain
- ``'django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig'`` instead of
- ``'django.contrib.admin'``.
+regressions cannot be ruled out. See :ref:`application-loading-process` for
+solutions to some problems you may encounter.
