Description (last modified by Clinton Christian) 

    if not app_config.models_module:
        return

The return statement is never reached since if app_config doesn't have a models_module attribute it raises an AttributeError.

Regardless of whether to allow the return statement to catch or return an AttributeError, this code should perhaps be changed to be more clear. I suggest either raising an AttributeError explicitly or using gettattr.

Have you encountered an error in practice or are you simply suggesting this fix based on code inspection?

Considering that AppConfig.__init__ assigns self.models_module = None, I fail to see how models_module can be missing.
