My goal is to develop a basic API using the django rest framework. The code in my view looks like this:
from django.shortcuts import render
from moviestash.models import Movie
from moviestash.serializer import MovieSerializer
from rest_framework import generics
#List all movies and add movies
class MovieList(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
queryset = Movie.objects.all()
serializer_class = MovieSerializer
#Get a movie and delete a movie
class MovieDetail(generics.RetrieveDestroyAPIView):
queryset = Movie.objects.all()
serializer_class = MovieSerializer
However, whenever I try to access any URL while running the server, I encounter the following error message:
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Exception Type: ImportError at /
Exception Value: No module named http_client
In trying to troubleshoot the issue, I found that when importing `http_client` from `django.utils.six.moves`, there seems to be an issue with the `responses` object. While I am able to import `http_client` successfully in the django shell, attempting to import `responses` using `from django.utils.six.moves.http_client import responses` results in an ImportError.
