Odoo 8: Browse another module in method that runs on install/upgrade

I have written a module, which requires initial data population when it is installed/upgraded. The method (_initialize_history_prices) fires up successfully, but current_price_records does not seem to have any values, so it does nothing (the table has thousands of records). I see no errors while it is running. Is there something wrong I'm doing, or is it not possible to browse other modules during module install/upgrade and I should resort to SQL?

Here's the code with irrelevant parts truncated for brevity

class pricelist_partnerinfo_history(models.Model):
    _name = 'pricelist.partnerinfo.history'

    @api.model
    def _initialize_history_prices(self):
        '''Add missing current prices in historical records.'''
        current_price_records = self.env['pricelist.partnerinfo'].browse()
        for rec in current_price_records:
            # Do stuff

pricelist_history_init.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<openerp>
  <data>
    <!-- Initialize price list history records with current prices if they are missing in history -->
    <function model="pricelist.partnerinfo.history" name="_initialize_history_prices"/>
  </data>
</openerp>

__openerp__.py

'depends': ['product', 'purchase_automation'],
'data': [
    'pricelist_history_init.xml',
    'pricelist_view.xml',
],

in _initialize_history_prices() method, in current_price_records you will get empty records set of pricelist.partnerinfo because browse() without ids will return empty recordset, so when this method will call nothing will happen

to get all records you can use search() method

@api.model
def _initialize_history_prices(self):
    '''Add missing current prices in historical records.'''
    current_price_records = self.env['pricelist.partnerinfo'].search([])
    for rec in current_price_records:
        # Do stuff
