[Fixed]-Django/Python Circular model reference

From the docs:

To refer to models defined in another
application, you can explicitly
specify a model with the full
application label. For example, if the
Manufacturer model above is defined in
another application called production,
you’d need to use:

class Car(models.Model):
     manufacturer = models.ForeignKey('production.Manufacturer')

This sort of reference can be useful
when resolving circular import
dependencies between two applications.

So for your apps, try changing e.g. 

 location = models.ForeignKey(Location)

to 

 location = models.ForeignKey('Location')

Note that if this model is in a different app then you need to specify that too (thanks @Bran for pointing this out), e.g.

 location = models.ForeignKey('teacher.Location')
