What is the equivalent of django.db.models.loading.get_model() in Django 1.9?

Question

I want to use get_model() to avoid cyclic imports in my models, but I get name 'get_model' is not defined error. I read that get_model() was depreciated in 1.8 and apparently is not present in 1.9. What is the equivalent call? Or is there another way to avoid cyclic imports in two models.py files?

Answer 1

django.db.models.loading.get_model() has been removed in django 1.9.

You are supposed to use django.apps instead.

>>> from django.apps import apps >>> apps.get_model('shop', 'Product') <class 'shop.models.Product'> >>>
