Admin doesn't get Config instance about django-constance HOT 4 CLOSED

/python2.7/site-packages/constance/admin.py in changelist_view

# First load a mapping between config name and default value
if not self.has_change_permission(request, None):
    raise PermissionDenied
default_initial = ((name, default) for name, (default, help_text) in settings.CONFIG.items())
# Then update the mapping with actually values from the backend
initial = dict(default_initial,
>        **dict(config._backend.mget(settings.CONFIG.keys())))
form = ConstanceForm(initial=initial)
if request.method == 'POST':
    form = ConstanceForm(request.POST)

It seems that I have the same problem. Django 1.7c2 does not work with actual master of constance. It works when constance is in the INSTALLED_APPS list earlier then django-contrib-admin.
If not, the problem occurs because the new ready() function of the admin app is called earlier than the read() function of constance.

Nevertheless I don't like the solution of @LeaFin very much: The Config class instance seems to be instanciated twice. Can we find a solution that the Config class isn't setup in the ready() function but earlier?

Hi, could you add into documentation information about added 'constance' and (if you use db backend) 'constance.backends.database' in the INSTALLED_APPS list earlier then django-contrib-admin. I spend some few hours, before figure out this.

This seems to have been a regression when the app loading was rewritten in Django 1.7. This should work with current master again. See 69221ba for the change.
