Here models are in different modules and the models.py imports them from different modules like this
from model1 import * # or the name of models you want to import
from model2 import User
or you might write all your models in models.py

Not sure why, but despite admin.py being in the app's folder, import models isn't found. (Using django 2.1.2, although I don't see how that could have any affect).
I had to to import app_name.models.

This might be some weird relative/reference issue in my specific setup (although my setup is super vanilla).
In any case if anybody encounters the same issue, there's your answer ^^
Also if somebody knows why I can't resolve the plain import models, please enlighten me :)
