As pointed out elsewhere in the thread, your request is not very well-defined. However, there is a more concrete idea in #5685 that has some legs. Ben Slavin (__hawkeye__) and I have been discussing on and off the need for something that basically runs after settings has been loaded -- which is about as close as you can get to "before Django does anything significant". The main usage for this is things like registering cross-application signal handlers at the right time without needing requirements like "this app must go after all other apps in the list" (since as soon as you have two such apps, you cannot satisfy the requirement). The other main usage I had in mind was for setting up per-test changes that might be required. That ticket is on my list of features to add, so now that we've branched I can look at it again. It's not an entirely trivial patch, but I've read it a couple of times in the past (and Ben and I worked on it together at a sprint last year). I want to check we haven't missed anything obvious now that a couple of months have gone by since I last looked, but it should be ready and committed soon.
