How to get the app label in tests.py stored in that app in Django?

I am trying to get the app label in my tests.py. It should basically just give me the app label in whose folder the python module is located.



So if we have myapp/tests.py, then within that file, it should return 'myapp'. Right now, the only way I can think about doing this is importing a model from that app, and calling the following:



MyModel._meta.app_label



However, there must be another way to just get the app label without using a model right? Any help is appreciated.
