After poking around I realised that it was because within the `__init__.py` I was importing the models: {{{ # __init__.py from models import * ... }}} So, my question: is that a case of "don't do that", and if so is that worth specifying in the documentation? It took me quite a while to debug that, and I found nothing obvious in the docs to help me (if there is, please point me to it). | nobody | julien | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
