[Django]-Trying to avoid circular imports

✅

ForeignKey can take a string as an argument, i.e. models.ForeignKey('app2.App2Model'). Of course, you should try to design your code to avoid any circular dependencies in the first place.

I agree with Cat Plus Plus about designing code to avoid circular dependencies, but should you not be able to:

try:
    import app.model
except ImportError:
    pass

You should still need an import statement

import app2.App2Model

But if app2 imports app1 you would get an error like you mentioned.

👤Nix
