8108	"Abstract Base Classes Shouldn't Trigger Auto-""app_label"" Generation"	brooks.travis@…	nobody	"For some reason, importing an abstract base class causes Django to try and create an ""app_label"" for it. This isn't an issue, apparently, for ABCs defined in an app-level models.py module, but it causes an error (IndexError) if the ABC is in a top-level module in the python path. The current ""fix"" is to either move the ABC into an app's models.py file (not good for code re-use/separation) or supply a value for ""app_label"" in the ABC's class Meta. Perhaps adding a test to app_label generation that tests for _meta.abstract and skips on True might be a good idea?"
