Note:

If I open autoreload.py and put the following code

        if filename.endswith("models.py"):
            print 'MODEL: ', filename
        elif filename.endswith("forms.py"):
            print 'FORM: ', filename

I can see all my and djangos models, also forms it' uses, but none from my app:

MODEL:  ..../python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/models.py
FORM:  ..../python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/forms.py
MODEL:  ..../python2.7/site-packages/compressor/models.py
MODEL:  ..../python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/messages/models.py

Putting the following code into MY_APP/init.py works as a workaround, although doesn't seem ideal:

try:
  import forms
except:
  pass

Last bit of info for now - here's the (not recommended) init.py I came up with to reload forms and tests automatically:

try:
    from django.conf import settings
    if settings.DEBUG:
        import forms, tests
except:
    pass

By design, the development server only reloads code that it's actually using.

If forms.py isn't used, what's the point in reloading the development server when it's changed?
