# of `autoslug.fields`, then `django`.  As the latter may not be available
# (being a dependency), we try to work around it.
#
# Cases:
# 1) building the package with a global interpreter and no dependencies
#    installed globally;
# 2) building documentation e.g. on RTFD server (no Django settings available
#    on runtime);
# 3) installing django-autoslug before Django itself (highly unlikely).
