Hello, this is a very old post but seeing how I got here from a Google search I figure someone else might also. Looking at get_apps() this is what I get: from django.db.models import loading for mod in loading.get_apps(): print(mod.__name__) And the output: django.contrib.auth.models django.contrib.contenttypes.models django.contrib.sessions.models django.contrib.sites.models django.contrib.messages.models django.contrib.staticfiles.models django.contrib.admin.models django.contrib.admindocs.models debug_toolbar.models django_extensions.models solo.models wp_user_agents.models home.models projects.models # <...plus all of my other app's models...> So you see, *get_apps()* *does* return the *models*, not the *apps* themselves. However, I did find this that works: from django.conf import settings from django.utils.module_loading import import_module apps = [] for appname in settings.INSTALLED_APPS: apps.append(import_module(appname)) Or to shorten it: from django.conf import settings from django.utils.module_loading import import_module apps = [import_module(appname) for appname in settings.INSTALLED_APPS] I needed it to design a search app for my site. If anyone has a better way I would really like to hear about it (no sarcasm). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
