Something I've seen that isn't particularly well documented (if at all)...
If you have a model that isn't in your foo.models (ie, the top models.py
for the app), and have a package setup, you need to add an app_name
property to your model classes.
Example
myproject/
foo_app/ <-- needs to be in the python path, else you'll have to
prefix app_name with the project name
__init__.py
models/
__init__.py
some_models.py
(inside some_models.py)
class MyModel(models.Model)
app_name = 'foo_app' # 'foo_app' if the app is in python path, else
'myproject.foo_app'
In my case, syncdb wouldn't "see" any models for my app I didn't do
this, and they weren't in the main models.py
