I’m new to Python and Django, but have decided to make my own wedding website based on https://www.placecard.me/blog/django-wedding-website/. The only major difference I want to make is to change the the email communication to SMS. I came across this https://github.com/CleverProgrammer/CP-Twilio-Python-Text-App texting app.
I incorporated the texting app into a Django project to test and attempt to send a text message to all guests in the database. I’m running Python 3.6.5 and Django 2.0.5
I have the following directory structure for my Django project.
I have the following code:
settings.py
import os
enter code here`# Build paths inside the project like this:
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

send_sms.py:
from twilio.rest import Client
from credentials import account_sid, auth_token, my_cell, my_twilio
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
my_msg = "Test message"
message = client.messages.create(to=my_cell, from_=my_twilio, body=my_msg)
I then run python sms_send\send_sms.py.
This sends a SMS to my phone.
I then add the following to try and send the same message to both guests already in the database. I did all the migrations.
admin.py
from .models import SmsUser
from django.contrib import admin
class SmsUserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('name', 'number')
search_fields = ['name', 'number']
admin.site.register(SmsUser, SmsUserAdmin)
models.py
from django.db import models
class SmsUser(models.Model):
name = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
number = models.CharField(max_length=13, null=True, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return ' {}'.format(self.name)
def __str__(self):
return ' {}'.format(self.number)
And change send_sms.py to the following:
from twilio.rest import Client
from credentials import account_sid, auth_token, my_cell, my_twilio
from models import SmsUser
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
recipients = SmsUser.objects.all()
for recipient in recipients:
client.messages.create(body='Sample text', to=recipient.number,
from_=my_twilio)
When I run python sms_send\send_sms.py again I get the following error:
PS C:\Garbage\Python\Django\WebsiteSMS> python sms_send\send_sms.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "sms_send\send_sms.py", line 3, in from models import SmsUser File "C:\Garbage\Python\Django\WebsiteSMS\sms_send\models.py", line 4, in class SmsUser(models.Model): File "C:\Users\Gary.HIBISCUS_PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36- 32\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 100, in new app_config = apps.get_containing_app_config(module) File "C:\Users\Gary.HIBISCUS_PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36- 32\lib\site-packages\django\apps\registry.py", line 244, in get_containing_app_config self.check_apps_ready() File "C:\Users\Gary.HIBISCUS_PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36- 32\lib\site-packages\django\apps\registry.py", line 127, in check_apps_ready raise AppRegistryNotReady("Apps aren't loaded yet.") django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.
I’ve tried the suggested answers but have not been able to get this working. Everything seems fine until I add from models import SMSUser in send_sms.py
I hope someone can identify my problem and point me in the right direction.
