Answer 1

Using django-extensions to generate the model graph for your Django application, I did this and it worked:

pip install django-extensions
pip install pyparsing
pip install graphviz
pip install pydot
conda install graphviz

Add django-extensions to you INSTALLED_APPS and then add C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\pkgs\graphviz-2.38.0-4\Library\bin\graphviz to my system path variable. Then finally and normally:

python manage.py graph_models -a -g -o pic.png
