Re: Must AUTH_USER_MODEL be in "models.py"?

Thanks for the reply,

I used the "import *" syntax for brevity in my post, my actual code uses the "from .app1 import MyThing" syntax.

I added "from project.app1._models.model1 import MyUser" to the models.py, and I get the same issue.

The only workaround I've found is to make "MyUser" abstract, then in models.py create a concrete implementation of it.

Do you think I should report this issue as a bug, or is this behaviour by design?

I wouldn't use "import *" if I were you. I would put the imports in the models.py file rather than in _models/__init__.py

Not sure if that will save your problem but might be worth trying it out.

I like to split my models up into separate files, but it seems that the new customizable user model requires that it is defined directly in a "models.py" file. 

A condensed version of my project structure and code:

manage.py

project/

   app1/

      models.py "from _models import *"

      _models/

        __init__.py "from .model1 import MyUser"

        model1.py

    settings.py

model1.py:

class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser): 

    <some code>

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = ('project.app1', )

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'app1.MyUser'

The above gives me:

auth.user: Model has been swapped out for 'app1.MyUser' which has not been installed or is abstract.

If I move the definition of MyUser into app1/models.py then it works. 

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
