Re: Unit test an app using ContentType?

Here's a clue from Carl Meyer in an old Stackoverflow post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/502916/django-how-to-create-a-model-dynamically-just-for-testing

The idea here is to put additional models in
myapp/tests/models.py and then include myapp.tests in
INSTALLED_APPS when testing. This might do the trick for me.
