Django piston is pretty old and does not work with django1.11 out of the box.

For the transition these are the changes required to get piston working



Start out by creating a new virtualenv, install the requirements, then change the following lines:



In piston/emitters.py:

    # instead of the original simplejson import

    import json as simplejson



    # instead of the DateTimeAwareJsonEncoder import

    from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder as DateTimeAwareJSONEncoder



    # in ~186 replace the following line

    for f in data._meta.fields + data._meta.virtual_fields])

    # with this line

    for f in data._meta.fields + tuple(data._meta.virtual_fields)])



In piston/resource.py

    # in ~207 replace

    resp = HttpResponse(stream, mimetype=ct, status=status_code)

    # with this line

    resp = HttpResponse(stream, content_type=ct, status=status_code)
