Automatic Model imports don't work!

See original GitHub issue

When I run shell_plus, it instantly prints out all the models it found in all my apps. Then it gives me these nice lines, which imply that the classes were really auto-imported, which is so impressive and reassuring:

Shell Plus Model Imports
from b2bpay.apps.transactions.models import Attachment

But they aren’t! Why not? Why is it printing stuff out when it hasn’t actually imported anything?

In [2]: Attachment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-c74e9844aceb> in <module>()
----> 1 Attachment

NameError: name 'Attachment' is not defined

So I even defined SHELL_PLUS_POST_IMPORTS:

Shell Plus User Imports
from b2bpay.apps.onboard.models import *
from b2bpay.apps.wizard.models import *

But again, no class got imported.

Same problem here with ipython on a clean ubuntu 18.04 install. On my previous Ubuntu 16.04 everything was working fine. Now resolved to bpython, which does work!

If I don’t use ipython (shell_plus --plain), the auto imports work fine.

–bpython also works fine.

It’s strange since I have another project with the same versions of extension, django and ipython and it works just fine.
