I am super new with django and python and I'm having trouble getting the django rest framework integrated into my project.
I've got my model, serializer, and api in order, I think but when I attempt to run the server I get a string of errors:
(pyDev) C:\Users\pyDev\smrt>python manage.py run server Performing system checks...
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function wrapper at 0x0000000003FFD278

Traceback (most recent call last):

from django.core.handlers.wsgi import STATUS_CODE_TEXT
ImportError: cannot import name STATUS_CODE_TEXT
Anyone have an idea of how to fix this or what I am doing wrong? Thanks!
- python: 2.7.14
- django: 1.11.6
- rest framework: 3.1.1
- virtualenv: 12.1.1
wpercy correctly points out that STATUS_CODE_TEXT has been removed from django, but I am not explicitly calling it from anywhere in my code. I guess that means it's somewhere in the rest_framework.generics code?
Is it possible that I'm using the rest_framework incorrectly and need to update my approach?
EDIT: I built a brand new project from scratch following the django rest framework tutorial, and I am able to return JSON objects just fine without the errors described here...
EDIT: This specifically appears to be the result of a call to include:
rest_framework.generics import ListAPIView
EDIT: Based on wpercy's advice I looked through the traceback more carefully and realized that the reference was pointing at my root python27\Lib\site-packages\rest_framework\response.py on line 8 as indicated above, I found:
from django.core.handlers.wsgi import STATUS_CODE_TEXT
and then on line 81:
return STATUS_CODE_TEXT.get(self.status_code, '')
How can I fix this?
EDIT: I found on the link that wpercy & commenter below posted
Link to relevant ticket. Jpadilla wrote:
In summary we should probably be able to do something like in response.py:
from django.utils.six.moves.http_client import responses
...
return responses.get(self.status_code, '')
I dropped in that suggestion which is a closed item on github:
ticket for django-rest-framework Status code
and the server will now run. I'm not sure how I ended up with this older code? Perhaps I should uninstall and reinstall django-rest-framework to ensure that I have the latest, but dropping this code in did fix the issue.
EDIT: Based on an answer I received from another question: 'Options' object has no attribute 'get_all_related_objects' but I'm already using Django 1.11 it turns out that I was using an old version of the rest framework with a new version of django. See Answer marked below
