wiki.models cannot be loaded from a plugin view module

[benjaoming]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a plugin with a wiki_plugin.py and an urlpattern in the BasePlugin.
2. Point to a view that has "from wiki import models"

It won't work because of circularity.

Still very annoying for plugins.

• it has nothing to do with the order of settings.INSTALLED_APPS

The problem seems to be that views should not be imported in wiki_plugin.py files.

This would have been easier to discover without the magic of the plugin loader, and a more flat-out registration performed directly in a plugin's model module.

Suggesting to refactor BasePlugin to not include article_view but rather use some url naming convention and lazy url reversals. As long as the urlpatterns need to actively call something inside the plugin's view module, there will be circularity as BasePlugin is loaded from either wiki.models or the plugin.models.
