cannot import name same_origin from authentication.py tastypie django

Question

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out why I am getting a "ImportError: cannot import name same_origin"

Here is the full stack trace:

ImportError: cannot import name same_origin

My installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'bin',
    'tastypie',
}

What other information would be helpful?

Answer 1

The same_origin method was removed from django as of version 1.9. You can look at the commit here.

It looks like this was fixed in tastypie as of v0.13.0.

Also, tastypie v0.12 doesn't support django 1.9, but v0.13 does. Upgrade tastypie by running:

$ pip install django-tastypie==0.13.3 

And if you have a requirements.txt file, be sure to update the version number there as well.
