Unable to access data in field during migration v1.7c2

[Matthew Meyer]

I have a model with a FK to  a field called employee. I'm trying to migrate it to django.contrib.auth.models.User. I call a migrations.RunPython command and when I try to access the data in the field before I migrate it and after I have updated the model it is not giving me the correct data. If I access the revert the model changes and access the field from the shell it is correct.  Any idea what is going on?

No, because you haven't shown any code. Remember you need to use the `apps.get_model()` method to get the model as it is before any subsequent changes: could that be the problem?

I am using apps.get_model but it seems to be giving me the model as it exists in the models.py and not the model before migrations that is currently part of the database.
