v1.0.13 Django 1.10 ImportError: No module named 'myapp.apps.MyappsConfig'; 'myapps.apps' is not a package

1.0.13 ImportError: No module named 'myapp.apps.MyappsConfig'; 'myapps.apps' is not a package

That's due to django's upgrade from using INSTALLED_APPS to apps.get_app_configs().

Change autodiscover() in tasks.py to below would fix this:

def autodiscover():
'''autodiscover tasks.py files in much the same way as admin app'''
import imp
#from django.conf import settings
from django.apps import apps

#for app in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
for app_config in apps.get_app_configs():

The autodiscover method seems to be legacy code from the original project, and I am not sure whether it contributes anything meaningful.

From version 1.0.14, the ImportError is caught and ignored (which implies that apps that are installed via AppConfig path are not "autodiscovered" anymore).

I don't understand this...my app was configured with an apps.Config file in INSTALLED_APPS and so process_task silently failed until I finally just looked at the source for autodiscover(). Shouldn't this be in the docs somewhere? If tasks are in the db but can't be imported, shouldn't there be some kind of logging error or visible failure somewhere?
