Attempting this approach, calling : create_permissions(my_app_config)
from within my migration fails to create the permissions. It looks like *create_permissions *checks for *models_module* on the provided app config. However, when my migration runs, my *models_module* is *None. * So is there a better time when models_module is available? My understanding of models_module is that I have a models.py in my app, which I indeed do. I can call my_app_config.get_models() and I get a list of all of my models, but *my_app_config.models_module* remains *None* If I try this from the django shell: from django.apps import apps apps.get_app_config('my_app').models_module The result here is not *None*, so it seems the issue is migration related.
