16283	manage.py depends on django.contrib.contenttypes et al.	TheRoSS	nobody	"I intended to use django.contrib.auth with my own backends, so I included 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.!AuthenticationMiddleware' into 'MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES', excluded 'django.contrib.auth' from 'INSTALLED_APPS' and created my own authentication application.

But if I named my authentication application as 'project.auth', django used models from 'django.contrib.auth'.
If I gave it any other name, 'project.auth2' for example, models were mine.

project.settings contains:

{{{
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'project.auth',    # DOESN'T WORK!
    'project.auth2',   # works well
)

}}}


I tracked down the source code and realized that django.db.models.loading.app_models dictionary has a record named 'auth' taken from 'django.contrib.auth' (upon middleware processing I suppose) which prevents my 'auth' application to be used."
