 Attempting to json.dumps() the result of apps.get_models() leads to a
 TypeError:

 {{{

 TypeError at /uploader/select-models/

 'Designates whether this user should be treated as active. Unselect this
 instead of deleting accounts.' is not JSON serializable
 }}}

 That is because "Designates whether this user should be treated as active.
 ...." is not a string, but the converted representation of a
 django.utils.functional.lazy.<locals>__proxy__ object.  That is not JSON
 serializable.

 Debugging this is onerous because in all respects the help text looks and
 acts like a string.
