The way I found to do this when I was starting out:
from django.db.models import get_model
model = get_model('my_app_name', model_name_string)
Then I can do model.objects().whatever...
I found get_model by looking at the Django code, not in the documentation.
I was a little concerned about using it and relying on undocumented Django
internals but when I posted here querying if my use was legit (or if there
was a better way) the feedback I got was that it was probably OK. That's
how the core Django code transforms a string into a model object so it's not
likely to disappear.
