Loading django.apps module inside the url patterns file

Question

I have added a router property (an instance of DRF's SimpleRouter) to my AppConfig. I want to get a list of all installed apps in my urls.py file and add any app with the router property to my url patterns.

This is my urls.py file:

from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from django.apps import apps

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls))
]

# Loading the routers of the installed apps and core apps
for app in apps.get_app_configs():
    if hasattr(app, 'router'):
        urlpatterns += app.router.urls

and this is an example of my modified AppConfig:

from django.apps import AppConfig
from .router import auth_router


class AuthConfig(AppConfig):

    name = "core.auth"
    # to avoid classing with the django auth
    label = "custom_auth"

    # router object
    router = auth_router

    def ready(self):
        from .signals import user_initialize, password_reset_set_token

default_app_config = 'core.auth.AuthConfig'

When I try the above solution, I end up getting a "django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet." error message!

I've tried using the solutions proposed here but none of them worked!

The error wasn't being caused by the urls.py folder, it was being by the AppConfig. I had to import the auth_router inside the ready method

from django.apps import AppConfig


class AuthConfig(AppConfig):

    name = "core.auth"
    # to avoid classing with the django auth
    label = "custom_auth"

    # router object
    router = None

    def ready(self):
        from .signals import user_initialize, password_reset_set_token
        from .router import auth_router
        self.router = auth_router

default_app_config = 'core.auth.AuthConfig'
