Remove model imports in any utils/ modules

[AlanCoding]

To prevent circular imports, we want ansible_base/utils imports to always be "safe" to import inside of Django apps.

Right now this doesn't work due to a stray import of AbstractUser which needs apps to be loaded before importing (or will throw an error).

This can be done by moving these imports in-line, or more elegantly, but further code refactoring.

Hi!

Is this issue still awaiting resolution? If so, I'd like to take a look at it. I'm a uni student who's currently taking an open source course, which includes making contributions.

Yes, still unresolved. The import in question is:

django-ansible-base/ansible_base/lib/utils/models.py

Line 9 in 5f1ca89

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

In many cases, Model, would be an acceptable replacement, which does not require apps to be loaded to be able to import.

A solution can be verified by using the python3 terminal, without doing any other setup before that.

>>> from ansible_base.lib.utils import *
>>> from ansible_base.lib.utils.models import *

The first line is successful, but the 2nd line errors. Make that not error, and this is solved.

Alright, I'll start working on this then, thanks for the quick reply! I'm quite new to contributing to ansible, is there a certain Matrix room I could ask questions regarding django-ansible-base?
