I got here for the same problem  but for a different reason   Class objects get id 1    This code was raising an ImportError exception  What was confusing me was that the code below executed fine and returned a result set as expected   Class objects all     Tail of the traceback for the get   method   File  django db models loading py   line 197  in get models     self  populate   File  django db models loading py   line 72  in  populate     self load app app name  True  File  django db models loading py   line 94  in load app     app module   import module app name  File  django utils importlib py   line 35  in import module       import   name  ImportError  No module named myapp   Reading the code inside Django s loading py  I came to the conclusion that my settings py had a bad path to my app which contains my Class model definition  All I had to do was correct the path to the app and the get   method executed fine   Here is my settings py with the corrected path   INSTALLED APPS          django contrib contenttypes        django contrib sessions        django contrib sites                  mywebproject myapp        All the confusion was caused because I am using Django s ORM as a standalone  so the namespace had to reflect that
