Get a list of all installed applications in Django and their attributes

Question

In my Django website, I'm creating a class that interact dynamically with other applications installed in the website. I have to do a manipulation on each field of each application.

So I want to save the name of all installed applications in a list and get the attributes of each one. There is a way to do that using an iterator or something else ?

Answer 1

Under Django 1.7 and above (thanks Colin Anderson):

from django.apps import apps apps.get_models() 

Under Django 1.6 and below.

If you want all models, try:

from django.db.models import get_models  for model in get_models():    # Do something with your model here    print model.__name__, [x.name for x in model._meta.fields] 

I believe the older function still works.
