Django 1.9 django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet

Trying to use django-shopify-sync in a Django 1.9 project. When loading the config for the app it gives me the following error, likely because it's trying to load some models in the config?
Tried moving the the two imports that eventually import models into the ready() function below, but still getting the same error. Culpirt lines 2 and 3 in the following file https://github.com/andresdouglas/django-shopify-sync/blob/master/shopify_sync/apps.py
The error is:

If you move the following lines (model imports) https://github.com/andresdouglas/django-shopify-sync/blob/master/shopify_sync/handlers.py#L3-L4
from .models import (CustomCollection, Customer, Order, Product, Shop,
SmartCollection)
inside get_topic_models it seems to fix the error. But that's kind of dirty, can anyone come up with a better solution?

It looks like you may have an ordering issue. Make sure your application is in the INSTALLED_APPS tuple after django-shopify-sync. You can find a few more details in the Application registry documentation.
As unsatisfying as an inline import is, you may be stuck with it. I'd suggest moving
from shopify_sync.handlers import webhook_received_handler
from shopify_webhook.signals import webhook_received
into the ready method in apps.py. This will delay the import until the models are ready.
The change I tried is:
diff --git a/shopify_sync/apps.py b/shopify_sync/apps.py
index 663b43b..0bc1fcc 100644

PYTHON: nosetests import file path with multiple modules/files

I'm currently working through LearnPythonTheHardWay and have reached Exercise 48 which details Nosetests. I am able to perform a unit testing as long as all of the code is in a single python.py file. However if I include other files as part of a program, i.e. use import and then attempt to nosetest such a project I am getting an error, as follows:
======================================================================

else:

class temp(object):
def __init__(self,name):
self.name = name
def run(self):
print "Your name is; %s" % self.name
runner.run()
My question is how to overcome the ImportError: No Module named 'temp' because it seems as if I have imported the temp.py file in both the scanner.py file and the scanner_tests.py file but nose does not seem to be able to import it when it runs. Nosetests works fine when its just the single scanner.py file but not when importing. Is there a special syntax for importing into a unit test for nose? The script also works fine when run and imports properly at the command line.
*Note: I'm running python off a limited account off an online server so some admin privileges are not available.
**Note below are entirely different screenshots from another project with the exact same error:
Directory Layout:
Game.py:
Otherpy.py - the imported file:
the Nose test script file:
And finally the nosetests importerror:

Everything needs to be with respect to your execution point. You are running your nose command from the root of ex48, therefore all your imports need to be with respect to that location.
Therefore, in game.py you should be importing with respect to ex48. Therefore:
from ex48.otherpy import House
The same logic should be applied to your example referencing the temp folder.
from ex48.temp import temp

The only solution I have found is to post the following to the top of the main file:
try:
# This handles imports when running .py files from inside app directory
from file_to_import.py import class_instance
except:
# This handles imports when running nosetests from top-level (above app)
# directory
from directory_containing_app_files.file_to_import import class_instance
I am supremely interested in an alternative solution.

Using a Django model from a mercurial python hook

I'm trying to queue up some build requests in a DB during a changegroup hook. The DB table is managed by a Django app. So, in the hook, I want to use the Django model to submit the build request. However, I'm unable to get my settings right to import the model successfully.
Based on this (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/django-admin/) info, all I need to do is add my django site to the sys path, and set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. The django site lives in /opt/mysite, so - trying this from the python console:
>>> import sys
>>> import os
>>> sys.path.append('/opt')
>>> os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
>>> from mysite.myapp.models import Build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/mysite/myapp/models.py", line 1, in <module>

__import__(name)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 28, in <module>
from django.db import utils
ImportError: cannot import name utils
>>>
Second Attempt:
Based on this (http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/sep/22/standalone-django-scripts/) I can use setup_environ(), when I try this in the python shell, it works:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('/opt')
>>> from django.core.management import setup_environ
>>> from mysite import settings
>>> setup_environ(settings)
'/opt/mysite'
>>> from mysite.myapp.models import Build
>>> Build.objects.all()
[<Build: #1 F nkj sdfsdfsdfs43qg test_branch>, <Build: #2 F nkj sdfsdfsdfs43qg test_branch>, <Build: #13 Q >, <Build: #14 Q nkj_bug243>, <Build: #11 F nkj 444hwe45hedrrt nkj_bug272>, <Build: #12 F nkj sdfsdfsdfs43qg test_branch>]
However, when I try this in my Mercurial hook, I get blasted with errors the minute I try to import my Build model:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
path = '/opt'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
from django.core.management import setup_environ
from mysite import settings
setup_environ(settings)
from mysite.myapp.models import Build
import datetime
... do stuff ...
When it gets to the 'from mysite.myapp.models import Build' line I get the following error output:

'%r: %s' % (name, e))
ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'mail_admins': __import__() argument 1 must be string, not DictConfigurator
Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

The DictConfigurator error is a bug in python, hopefully fixed in the next 2.7 release (http://bugs.python.org/issue12718), something (probably mercurial) is overriding import and python's logging code fails in that case.
Until then here is what I did to fix it. Copy dictconfig.py from django/utils to somewhere in your python system path (I put it alongside my hook). Change the line
importer = __import__
to:
def importer(self, *args):
return __import(*args)__
And then in settings.py for your django project add to the end:
LOGGING_CONFIG = 'website.dictconfig.dictConfig'
Update website.dictconfig to whatever path you put the dictconfig file into so python can find it.
UPDATE: I think there is an even easier way. Add this to the top of your hook script, before importing anything else:
from mercurial import demandimport;
demandimport.disable()
This makes Mercurial revert the import override and seems to solve the problem cleanly.

If you're running with your environment in a virtualenv dir you'll need to add that to the site packages and I'd also suggest that you put the django dir at the front of sys.path instead of the end.
Here's the code we use to integrate our Django app into other python apps.
import os
import sys
# point this at the virtualenv dir that your django deployment runs out of
# you are using virtualenv. right?
DJANGO_ENV = '/home/core/python-envs/production'
# where your code lives (ie where settings.py is)
DJANGO_DIR = '/home/core/code/production'
# add our site packages
import site
site_packages = os.path.join(DJANGO_ENV, 'lib', 'python%s' % sys.version[:3], 'site-packages')
site.addsitedir(site_packages)
# put the main Django directory on first
sys.path.insert(0, DJANGO_DIR)
# setup the Django environment pointing to our settings
import settings
import django.core.management
django.core.management.setup_environ(settings)
# finally, import our objects
from yourapp.models import YourModel
One last thing to note is that when we import our code into some applications we've run into scoping issues and imports clashing. To get around it we wrap the work we want to do in a function so that it gets its own scope.
For example, instead of:
from yourapp.models import YourModel
objs = YourModel.objects.filter(something=True)
...
Do something like:
def do_work():
from yourapp.models import YourModel
objs = YourModel.objects.filter(something=True)
...
do_work()

Can't import django packages with nosegae

Edit
It seems that the issue is recursive imports
def test_import_pdb ():
import pdb
pdb.set_trace ()
part of the stack trace is
File "C:\Python27\lib\pdb.py", line 72, in __init__
import readline
notice that an import in __init__ of django.http is also part of the stack trace

Read https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/ about Django testing.
As I know it's better to use unittest or doctest shipped with django as it have several improvements for django-specific testing like form field output testing and some database features. Hovewer it's not essential and if you want to continue using nose - think you missed django environment setup:
from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment
setup_test_environment()
This lines needed to run your tests outside of ./manage.py --test
UPD
Yeah my previous thought's were wrong. So I just digged into sources of nose and nose-gae, and what I think - check HardenedModulesHook definition in your nose version, cause in trunk of nose I've found following:
class HardenedModulesHook(object):
...
def __init__(self,
module_dict,
imp_module=imp,
os_module=os,
dummy_thread_module=dummy_thread,
pickle_module=pickle):
...
That gives following - when noseGAE plugin begin() method is executed -> there self._install_hook(dev_appserver.HardenedModulesHook) is called which declares mixed-hook class and creates it's instance like self.hook = Hook(sys.modules, self._path). <- There is HardenedModulesHook.__init__ called with second argument as mystic '_path' however in NOSE this argument should be 'imp' module by default -> That makes an exception you've got:
_sf, path, _desc= self._imp.find_module(top, None)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'find_module'
So I think it might be a problem with nose-gae :(

Is there an __init__.py in gnukhata/tests directory? If not, then gnukhata.tests is not recognized as a module and you can't import from it.
If such file does exist, could you post here the import statements in gnukhata/tests/__init__.py if any?
