This issue is somewhat similar to
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27914 with a slightly different
problem.
If you define an inner class in the `django.db.models.Model` subclass,
`makemigrations` will produce an invalid import path resulting in import
error.
Specifically, if we have the following structure in our `models.py`,
{{{#!python
from django.db import models
class OuterClass(models.Model):
class InnerField(models.CharField):
pass
outer_field = InnerField(max_length=100)
}}}
the generated migration file would produce
{{{#!python
# Generated by Django 3.2.6 on 2021-08-13 03:39
from django.db import migrations, models
import test1.models.OuterClass
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
initial = True
dependencies = [
]
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='OuterClass',
fields=[
('id', models.BigAutoField(auto_created=True,
primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
('outer_field',
test1.models.OuterClass.InnerField(max_length=100)),
],
),
]
}}}
Notice that the import path at the top refers to an import of a class.
This is an invalid import format.
{{{#!python
import test1.models.OuterClass
}}}
Further usage of `manage.py migrate` will result in errors:
{{{#!python
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'test1.models.OuterClass';
'test1.models' is not a package
}}}
