Using django.utils.importlib which is depricated in Django 1.9

[pjcuadra]

I can get it to work with Django 1.9. The first issue I encountered was this one. According to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/internals/deprecation/. The django.utils.importlib you are importing in utils.py is depricated.

Modifying utils.py file from :
from django.utils import importlib, timezone
to :
from django.utils import timezone
import importlib
throws an AppRegistryNotReady exception when trying to runserver or migrate.

Full trace :

@belgacea
on utils.py, you need to declare the "from .models import ExecutionRecord" inside "get_scheduled_time"

@kolsiA
Doing that raises ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.utils.importlib'
And I'm not even importing importlib from django.utils, just import importlib
