Django Apps aren't loaded yet: How to import models

I have a Django project looking like

> project
    > gui
        > __init__.py
        > models.py
        > views.py
        > ...
    > project
        __init__.py
        ...

I am trying to sync the sqllite db in django with some info I periodically query from other sources. So in project.init.py I spawn a thread that periodically queries data. However, I am having trouble accessing my models from there and update the database, because when I try to import them into init.py

from gui.models import GuiModel

I get 

django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.

Is there a trick to do that or a different way to create a separate thread?

If you send all details correctly, I think you have a circular import in your code. simple way is to to move import into your function.

also you can create a custom command in your project and add a cronjob to your server to do this works.

From the Django Official Doc, If you’re using components of Django “standalone” you should follow something like this,

import sys
import os
import django

sys.path.append("/path/to/project")  # here project is root folder(means parent).
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "store.settings")
django.setup()

from gui.models import GuiModel

# do something here with models
