django-piston

I have a model with ManyToManyField to another model. I would like to get all the info on a particular record (including the related info from other models) return by JSON. How to get django-piston to display those values? I would be happy with just primary keys. Or can you suggest another option ? I may be wrong, but this should do it: class PersonHandler(BaseHandler): model = Person fields = ('id', ('friends', ('id', 'name')), 'name') def read(self, request): return Person.objects.filter(...) You need to define a classmethod on the handler that returns the many-to-many data, I don't believe

I am using piston to write a JSON api for an application I am writing which handles recurring calendar events. My API was working for regular events, when I attempted to add logic to handle the recurrence, I started getting the following error: descriptor 'date' requires a 'datetime.datetime' object but received a 'unicode' Here is my handlers.py : from piston.handler import BaseHandler from lessons.models import NewEvent, EachEvent import calendar from datetime import datetime, timedelta class CalendarHandler(BaseHandler): allowed_methods = ('GET',) model = EachEvent fields = ('actualDate', (

I'm working with django-piston to attempt to create an API that supports oAuth. I started out using the tutorial at: http://blog.carduner.net/2010/01/26/django-piston-and-oauth/ I added a consumer to piston's admin interface with key and secret both set to "abcd" for test purposes. The urls are successfully wired-up and the oAuth provider is called. However, running my get request token tests with tripit (python get_request_token.py " http://127.0.0.1:8000/api " abcd abcd), I receive the following error: Invalid signature. Expected signature base string: GET&http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A8000%2Fapi

I have an iPhone app that is using web services implemented in Python, using Django and Piston, running on an apache server through WSGI. Sometimes the app closes its connection to the server before a call is finished. When it does this it causes a: [Tue Sep 06 11:29:46 2011] [error] [client 207.35.164.99] mod_wsgi (pid=820): Exception occurred processing WSGI script 'myscript.wsgi'. [Tue Sep 06 11:29:46 2011] [error] [client 207.35.164.99] IOError: failed to write data to appear in my server's error logs. I can "fix" the problem in the app by not explicitly closing the connection, but just

I'm developing an advertising site and want to use web services for the requests. I mean, a publisher site will put a JavaScript snippet and it will pull a banner through a REST GET. Is the django-piston framework mature enough to implement this functionality? I am currently using it and it's good enough for my needs, which are fairly simple (mostly just an easy way to set up a read-only API for model data). I do have a couple of criticisms: It doesn't seem that jespern, the code's creator, is doing much in response to issues posted to bitbucket . Possibly an unfair criticism, and activity in
