create a release for django 4.0 compare

[tr-conway]

In auth.py

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ no longer works as ugettext_lazy is removed.

develop branch seems to have solved this issue.

Can a release be created?

[Felix83000]

Same problem detected still on Django 4.0

[Felix83000]

If not fixed, I am affraid that django-rest-knox will not be usable at all on Django 4.0 ...

[jodusan]

Also The providing_args argument for django.dispatch.Signal is removed. in knox.singals.py

Is django-rest-knox still maintained?

[PeterSR]

I am also interested in this release.

#216

After upgrading python 3.8.1 to version 3.8.10, my project stopped working.
I am seeing following error

\lib\site-packages\knox\auth.py", line 11, in <module>
    from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
ImportError: cannot import name 'ugettext_lazy' from 'django.utils.translation'

Pipfile:

django = ">=4.0"
djangorestframework = "~=3.13.1"
django-rest-knox = ">=4.1.0"
django-imagekit = ">=4.1.0"

[requires]
python_version = "3.8.10"

Please suggest me right compatible versions so my project can be fixed.

For now, I have downgraded django 4 to django 3 and it is working

@belugame @James1345
Guys? Maybe somebody can create a release? :)

[belugame]

hey everyone,
I since a long time no longer have an eye on this project, nor James (for even more years). So I don't feel like the right person to make releases. I would recommend for any interested person to make a fork and release from there to a new pip project.

[johnraz]

Fully agree with @belugame here, it would even be better if @James1345 could hand-over the pypi name, or someone could claim the pypi name (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/#how-to-request-a-name-transfer).

Dirty fix is to simply pin to the latest commit:

-e git+https://github.com/James1345/django-rest-knox.git@8447cd00358b1a3f76862278711abd2cdcb8837a#egg=django_rest_knox

I understand, it seems more and more likely that anyone wishing to upgrade to Django 4 will have to rely on a fork. However it would be nice that development would converge on a single fork.

This would be better indeed.

Otherwise I suggest that some information should be added to the README.md file, stating that the project is not maintained anymore, since what was said, a few months ago in another issue, is no longer true:

It's not actively developed for new features, but if there was a major issue it should get fixed also.

[James1345]

I'll get a release sorted soon

[James1345]

Hadn't realised no-one was watching this any more - sorry for the delay folks!

[Rotzbua]

@James1345 Created a pr #261 to test current python and django version which should help to maintain repo.

Please implement this I want to use knox with 4.0 🙏
I was following a tutorial that had it and can't get passed the part because using version 4.1.0 I get this error:

@NickWinston123 You do not need a release. As I mentioned in #260 (comment) you can use the latest version.

I am a noob and didn't know that was a pip command, thanks it is working now!

[Felix83000]

As said, it is a dirty fix... I hope a release will be uploaded to pypi

[James1345]

I'm going to get a release up on PyPI soon, I promise.

[jodusan]

@James1345 any ETA? Thanks!

[belugame]

I created a 4.2.0 release: https://github.com/James1345/django-rest-knox/releases/tag/4.2.0 for Django <=4

[Felix83000]

Great thank you! Will it be published on pypi.org?

[belugame]

Yes, I just did so :)
