21411	CommandError: One or more models did not validate but backtrace not saying anything useful	artscoop	nobody	"Hi,
There is a typo in my code (30 000 lines), which I cannot find. I cannot `runserver`, `validate` or `shell_plus` (django_extensions). I've had this problem with many versions of Django, but somehow managed to find where the error was. This time, I can't, and all I get is this cryptic error, absolutely not related to the position of the error, even with the `--traceback` and `verbosity` options.

In the `shell` command, I can import the `User` model and several others, so I know there is no typo in this model."	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.6	Normal	worksforme	validate	Baptiste Mispelon	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
