Django : How can I find a list of models that the ORM knows?

Question

In Django, is there a place I can get a list of or look up the models that the ORM knows about?

Answer 1

Simple solution:

import django.apps django.apps.apps.get_models() 

By default apps.get_models() don't include

• auto-created models for many-to-many relations without an explicit intermediate table
• models that have been swapped out.

If you want to include these as well,

django.apps.apps.get_models(include_auto_created=True, include_swapped=True) 

Prior to Django 1.7, instead use:

from django.db import models models.get_models(include_auto_created=True) 

The include_auto_created parameter ensures that through tables implicitly created by ManyToManyFields will be retrieved as well.

List models using http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/contenttypes/

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType  for ct in ContentType.objects.all():     m = ct.model_class()     print "%s.%s\t%d" % (m.__module__, m.__name__, m._default_manager.count())
