Django get list of Classes defined in controller of an application

Question

I am creating django permissions based on django views rather than basic model based permissions. Hence I want to get the list of all the classes in a view. I tried the following:

from django.apps import apps
apps.get_app_config('my_app')

And also:

import sys, inspect
inspect.getmembers(sys.modules['my_app'], inspect.isclass)

But I didn't get classes object.

*list of all the classes in a view* <= How do you define that? — dhke, Aug 23 '16 at 09:08
@dhke by view in mean views.py file i.e. controller of my app — Manasvi Batra, Aug 23 '16 at 09:18

Do you want to get all classes for a particular app (as per your question title) or just the classes found in a given app/views.py file? — James Agnew, Aug 23 '16 at 09:54
@JamesAgnew only views.py ones.. I made the change in the title — Manasvi Batra, Aug 23 '16 at 10:02

apps.get_app_config('my_app').get_models()

will return a list of all models declared in your application.

if you want to get all models including those in INSTALLED_APPS you can

appconfigs=apps.get_app_configs()
for appconfig in appconfigs:
    models = appconfig.get_models()
