Django-1.8 has added Model._meta API: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/releases/1.8/#model-meta-api

[Steven Dake (sdake)]

can we get this bug in the triaged state? It affects downstream Kolla making Horizon unusable. We are not going to block Kolla in Liberty 1 further for this issue, but I'd really like to say our Horizon feature is working.

[Matthias Runge (mrunge)]

Steven, upstream django-openstack-auth doesn't support django-1.8 yet.

The patch: https://review.openstack.org/167981 fixes this issue, as you see, it's not merged yet.

[David Lyle (david-lyle)]

why is kolla using django 1.8? That's not supported in openstack/requirements yet.

[Shaun Smekel (shaun-smekel)]

The patch https://review.openstack.org/167981 has been merged.
