Django AppConfig ready()

Question

I have Django 2.1.7

I read Django documentation as well as, this How to use django AppConfig.ready() and this Overriding AppConfig.ready().

Now, the folder/file structure is like this,

my_app
 __init__.py
 urls.py
 sub_app1
  migrations
  __init__.py
  admin.py
  apps.py
  models.py
  ...
 sub_app2
  ...
 sub_app3
  ...

and all sub_apps are registered into INSTALLED_APPS of Django settings.py file as my_app.sub_app1 for example. I noticed that when I try to override ready()for sub_app1 w/in sub_app1.apps.py, overriding has no effect.

When I flatten my structure above as

my_app
 __init__.py
 urls.py
 apps.py

overriding of ready works fine.

In other words, it seems that overriding of readyof a sub app w/in sub app's apps.py doesn't work.

Also, whether using default_app_config w/in sub app's __init__.py or my_app.sub_app1.apps.SubApp1Config w/in settings.py INSTALLED_APPS it gives error django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Cannot import 'sub_app1'. Check that 'my_app.sub_app1.apps.SubApp1Config.name' is correct.

Why is this happening?
