Description
I am aware of at least two manage.py operations that do not work intuitively if apps do not contain a models.py file: loading initial data fixtures and running unit tests. For example, if you have an app that contains an "initial_data" fixture but does not contain a models.py file, running syncdb does not pick up the fixture even though the app is explicitly listed in INSTALLED_APPS. Similarly unit tests will not run as reported here:

Yes, I did search the ticket tracker and spent about ten minutes looking through the results for relevant issues. I apologize that I missed the open issues. A few of my queries returned 20+ pages of results. I guess it was too much trouble for you to include those ticket numbers here so I and others could track those issues.
Both of these are known issues already reported. Please do search the ticket tracker before filing new tickets.
