django.db.models.get_model is deprecated

See original GitHub issue

The alias will be dropped in Django 1.9. Just need to update swapper.load_model to use django.db.models.loading.get_model instead.

Using django.db.models.loading.get_model gets you a second deprecation warning, so this does not help. But it points in the right direction. The loading module has the pointers to the new locations. So you can look in loading.py to see where you should import it from. In this case you should use django.apps.apps.get_model.

Note: I am not using the django-swappable-models project, but this is currently the top link when Googling for django.db.models.get_model is deprecated. 😃

Yes, according to the above comment this was fixed more than three years ago in pull request #9. Looking at the commit this was added already in swapper version 0.3.0.
