In our process of upgrading our Django project from 1.8 to 1.9 version, we removed all the deprecation warnings/errors according to Django-1.9 release notes. But, after updating the Django version to 1.9 in the project's virtual environment, we got the following error:

We have many installed apps in the project and using PostgreSQL-9.5 database. We know that the apps which have model classes in it, cause this error to occur. The above error even occured when connecting to the database using connection cursor:
django.db.connection.cursor().execute()
