Django options has no attribute _name_map

I have a table in database:

models.py

class Board(models.Model):
 ...

Now from python shell (manage.py shell), I can do:

Board._meta._name_map

But I can't access it in my views.py:

a = Board._meta._name_map

Error:

'Options' object has no attribute '_name_map'

There might be some other attributes missing too, so why is it?? How can I access this _name_map information?

_name_map is a cache, not something you can rely on.

I think you'll be better off with this:

for field in Board._meta.fields:
    if isinstance(field, ForeignKey):
        k = field.name
        # then whatever

At least assuming you don't already know the name of the field you're looking for, since you say get_field_by_name doesn't help.
