Django 1.7 problem?

[petkostas]

Hello I am experiencing problems with sorl and django 1.7 (testing environment):

(zenbframework)vagrant@precise64:/python-projects/zenbframework/zenframework$ pip freeze
Django==1.7b1
Pillow==2.4.0
argparse==1.2.1
django-braces==1.4.0
django-crispy-forms==1.4.0
django-mptt==0.6.0
redis==2.9.1
six==1.6.1
sorl-thumbnail==11.12
unicode-slugify==0.1.1
wsgiref==0.1.2

My settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'sorl.thumbnail',
    'posts',
    'news',
)

Trying to run migrate (replaces syncdb):

(zenbframework)vagrant@precise64:/python-projects/zenbframework/zenframework$ ./manage.py migrate
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 10, in <module>

Can someone give a short explanation on django 1.7 compability? I am getting

from sorl.thumbnail.helpers import get_module_class File ".../django_python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/sorl/thumbnail/helpers.py", line 55 except ImportError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Looks like it is related to simplejson package that used to be shipped-in Django pre 1.7.

sorl/thumbnail/helpers.py in () 3 from django.utils.encoding import smart_str 4 from django.utils.importlib import import_module ----> 5 from django.utils import simplejson 6 7

ImportError: cannot import name simplejson

Can you try with the beta version of the upcoming release. Use pip install sorl-thumbnail==11.12.1b to get the newest verison.

[treworld]

The beta version (11.12.1b) fixed the problem for me.

[ordersys]

And for me. thank you.

[hiway]

Thank you! Would be nice if the beta (or at least the hotfix for this particular issue) is available by default for pip install - many Django users preparing for the 1.7 upgrade will be headed to this page otherwise.

[mariocesar]

it's available by

pip install sorl-thumbnail==11.12.1b

[macs03]

i had the same problem and it solved with the version 11.12.1b thanks

[kakulukia]

+1 for releasing the beta as an official version .. at least i dont have startup problems with Django 1.7

[ricardokamada]

Thank you! here is ok with 11.12.1b

[hiway]

Thanks! This makes things awesome again :-D

[jplehmann]

:+1:

[stilobique]

Great ! No soucis with 11.12.b !

[opbod]

For some reason, a pip install sorl-thumbnail still installs the old 11.12 release for me (while 12.1c has been out on pip for a month now). The latest release (to date) can be obtained using pip install sorl-thumbnail==12.1c.

[jonthdiaz]

Thanks you!

[SalahAdDin]

Hey, now you can use pip install, the last version is 12.2
