[Raphael Hertzog]

Control: tag -1 + confirmed

The package fails to build with Django 1.7:

   debian/rules override_dh_auto_test
make[1]: Entering directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
set -e; \
for python in python2.7; do \
        PYTHONPATH="." $python runtests.py; \
done
Using Python version 2.7.8 from /usr/bin/python2.7
Using Django version 1.7c2 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 124, in check_apps_ready
    raise AppRegistryNotReady("Apps aren't loaded yet.")
django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_test] Error 1


To go past this error you need to add this to your test script:

import django
if hasattr(django, 'setup'):
    django.setup()
