Django-activity-stream: applications not yet loaded

Question

I am trying to use the Django-activity-stream package, but I have a configuration problem ( http://django-activity-stream.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuration.html ).

The name of my project is proj , and I want to use this package in main_app .

/ projected

/ proj / main_app

So, in main_app / apps.py, I did this:

from django.apps import AppConfig from actstream import registry class MainAppConfig(AppConfig): name = 'main_app' def ready(self): registry.register(self.get_model('Car')) 

But I have an error when I add this line to main_app / init .py:

 default_app_config = 'main_app.apps.MainAppConfig' 

Error:

  Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 350, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 342, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 176, in fetch_command commands = get_commands() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/lru_cache.py", line 100, in wrapper result = user_function(*args, **kwds) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 71, in get_commands for app_config in reversed(list(apps.get_app_configs())): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 137, in get_app_configs self.check_apps_ready() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 124, in check_apps_ready raise AppRegistryNotReady("Apps aren't loaded yet.") django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet. 

My settings:

 INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'django.contrib.humanize', 'django.contrib.sites', 'main_app', 'actstream', ] 

Edit (2):

Now I have this in main_app / apps.py:

from django.apps import AppConfig

 class MainAppConfig(AppConfig): name = 'main_app' def ready(self): from actstream import registry registry.register(self.get_model('Car'))

Django is not ready yet when you run against him. You must set the environment variable and set django (which usually starts when wsgi loads the django application):

 import os import django os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings") os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "mysite.settings" django.setup() from django.apps import AppConfig class MainAppConfig(AppConfig): name = 'main_app' def ready(self): from actstream import registry registry.register(self.get_model('Car'))
