syncdb does not find model, but it does in the shell

Hi,


as the title says, in a new project (django trunk), my model isn't found by syncdb.
However, when I run a shell_plus (I use django extensions), then I can import it without a problem.
So from sql.models.mytestmodel import MyTestModel works.
syncdb doens't produce any errors, it just doesn't find the model.

I usually split my models in seperate files and import them in the __init__.py file in the same
directory as the models. The command is the same as described above.

from sql.models.mytestmodel import MyTestModel

It's also the first time I am laying out my project in a different way. My project layout looks like this.
In the project directory, I have a directory apps where the apps of the project are placed.
Then inside the sql app, I have a forms, models and views directory.
In the models directory I have the __init__.py with the aformetioned import line.

adminsql
├── adminsql
│ ├── apps
│ │ └── sql
│ │ ├── forms
│ │ ├── models
│ │ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ │ ├── mytestmodel.py
│ │ ├── tests.py
│ │ ├── urls.py
│ │ └── views
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── views_test.py
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── settings_dev.py
│ ├── settings.py
│ ├── templates
│ │ ├── adminsql
│ │ └── sql
│ │ └── test.html
│ ├── urls.py
│ ├── wsgi.py
├── deploy
├── docs
├── logs
├── manage.py
├── media
├── README
├── static

The models is nothing special as this project is a test app to port my multiprocess program to Django
with celery.

from django.db import models
class MyTestModel(models.Model):
field1=models.CharField(max_length=12)
field2=models.CharField(max_length=12)

In my settings.py:
...
# Add apps to the path, so the sql app is found
project_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
app_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(project_path,"apps"))
sys.path.append(app_path)
...
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'sql',
)

All works, I can run the code in a browser, only the part fails where a result is written to the db
because of course the model related table doesn't exist.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Benedict
