You describe the problem you are seeing but don't tell why you are setting
things up .
What are you trying to achieve with things like this:
*in models.py I've added:*
import os
import django
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "MY_DJANGO.MY_DJANGO.settings"
django.setup()
*before the models import from django.db.*
or
*in settings.py, in INSTALLED_APPS:*
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
======>>>>'MY_DJANGO.my_django', or 'my_django', <<<<===== Here is the
problem
]
*Also tried to add ''my_django.apps.**MyDjangoConfig' to INSTALLED_APPS,
and it didn't helped.*
All of this is very unconventional.
If you are starting with Django you should refrain from doing weird things.
Django currently does no magic outside the Python import system so there is
no need to over complicate.
TBH No upgrade of Django is going to help you the mess you currently have.
