  The thing is that api.py depends on models.py that depends on api.py.
  Import statements in these files are such that api.py must be imported
  before models.py. That's why usually test_migrations doesn't fail when
  all tests are launched. However, thus test_migration _depends on test
  running order_ making testing procedure unreliable, including parallel
  testing.

  If you import models.py the first, you will face circular import
  problem.

  The bug is easy to fix (see explanations in http://effbot.org/zone
  /import-confusion.htm): just move glance.db.sqlalchemy.api import to
  the only place where it's required in models.py.
