receiving django post_migrate signal
The Django docs recommend connecting the post_migrate
signal in your app config's ready method. The Google groups post you link to is out of date, from before the docs were updated.
You also need to specify the app config in your INSTALLED_APPS
setting.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'myapp.apps.MyAppConfig',
# ...
]
Another way to configure your app is to use default_app_config
in __init__.py
of your app. See Configuring Applications. But the other way (dotted path to AppConfig) is preferred.
