Where to put Django rest framework code in a Django project? - django

Question

I'd like to know where/in which file I should put a set of DRF python code in a Django project. Here's why/what happening to me now.
As I'm trying to migrate from the default sqlite database to postgres, I have a trouble;
$ IS_PRODUCTION=true python manage.py showmigrations
..
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "django_content_type" does not exist
LINE 1: ..."."app_label", "django_content_type"."model" FROM "django_co...
that error tells me relation "django_content_type" does not exist, so I checked the stack trace in the error;
..
File "/root/pg/django/snippetapp/app/urls.py", line 623, in PostViewSet
_content_type_id = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Post).id
..
It seems that I got the error because I have the set of DRF scripts on ./appname/urls.py,
and I imported/used ContentType, one of core Django classes in the file;
since it seemingly Django loads the top urls.py file in a very early phase, over dealing with ContentType stuff.
So, I guess I got to move the whole set of DRF, so where should I?
But one thing, I guess we have urlpatterns include-ing DRF router urls as such:
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)
router.register(r'posts', PostViewSet)
..
urlpatterns = [
path('api/', include(router.urls)),
..
Then isn't we also need to have DRF scripts "before" the ./appname/urls.py -> urlpatterns...?
So I'd also like to know, when moving them to an another file cannot be an option, how can I solve/workaround the issue I have on importing ContentType in the urls.py?
Thanks.
Edit as requested
Here's the the PostViewSet that contains the imported ContentType in it;
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
..
class PostViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
default Post viewset
"""
_site_id = settings.SITE_ID
# e.g. 3
_content_type_id = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Post).id
# e.g. 12
comment_count = Comment.objects.filter(content_type_id=_content_type_id).filter(site_id=_site_id).filter(
object_pk=OuterRef('pk')).order_by().annotate(
count=Func(F('id'), function='COUNT')).values("count")
comments = Comment.objects.filter(content_type_id=_content_type_id).filter(site_id=_site_id).filter(
object_pk=OuterRef('pk'))
queryset = Post.objects.all().annotate(
vote_count=Count('voters'),
comment_count=Count('comments'),
# gets the comment count
comment02_count=Subquery(comment_count),
# gets the last comment
comment_last=Subquery(comments.order_by("-submit_date").values("comment")[:1]),
).all()
serializer_class = PostSerializer
permission_classes = [GeneralUserObjectPerm,]
filter_backends = [filters.OrderingFilter, DynamicSearchFilter,]
pagination_class = StandardResultsSetPagination
