Hi! I'm using the django rest framework and successfully deployed an application in a production environment but I'm having an strange error related to threads when I call a method that performs a simple classification task (using a scikit learn classifier) and I have no idea what is causing the error. This is the method in views.py
@api_view(['GET', 'POST']) def classify_item(request): """ Classify item, or list classifications. """ if request.method == 'GET': items = Item.objects.all() serializer = ItemSerializer(items, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) elif request.method == 'POST': serializer = ItemSerializer(data=request.data['item']) if serializer.is_valid(): try: item = serializer.data filter_name = request.data['filter'] # fix encoding item_dict = {} for key in item: value = item[key] if isinstance(value, unicode): value = value.encode('utf-8') item_dict[key] = value classifier_name = CLASSIFIER_NAME_BY_FILTER[filter_name] logger.debug("retrieving the persisted classifier and classifing the item") clf = joblib.load(os.path.join(CLASSIFIERS_PATH, filter_name, classifier_name)) logger.debug("predicting probabilities") data = pd.DataFrame([item_dict]) logger.debug("scoring item") score = clf.predict(data)[0][1] logger.debug("score: {}".format(score)) # create and save classification classification = Classification(classifier_name=classifier_name,score=score,item_id=item['_id']) classification_serializer = ClassificationSerializer(classification) #classification_serializer.save() except Exception as e: logger.error("Ocurrio un error al intentar parsear el item: {}".format(e)) return Response(classification_serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) And the output is: [22/Apr/2015 21:14:56] DEBUG [classifiers.views:63] retrieve the classifier for the given sited_id and classify item [22/Apr/2015 21:15:14] DEBUG [classifiers.views:66] predicting probabilities [22/Apr/2015 21:15:14] DEBUG [classifiers.views:69] scoring item [22/Apr/2015 21:15:14] ERROR [classifiers.views:80] Ocurrio un error al intentar parsear el item: *'Thread' object has no attribute '_children'* [22/Apr/2015 21:15:14] ERROR [django.request:256] Internal Server Error: /items/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 132, in get_response response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/newrelic-2.50.0.39/newrelic/hooks/framework_django.py", line 499, in wrapper return wrapped(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/views/decorators/csrf.py", line 58, in wrapped_view return view_func(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 71, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/newrelic-2.50.0.39/newrelic/hooks/component_djangorestframework.py", line 27, in _nr_wrapper_APIView_dispatch_ return wrapped(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rest_framework/views.py", line 452, in dispatch response = self.handle_exception(exc) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rest_framework/views.py", line 449, in dispatch response = handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters_env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rest_framework/decorators.py", line 50, in handler return func(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/keepcon/meli_filters/classifiers/views.py", line 81, in classify_item return Response(classification_serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) UnboundLocalError: local variable 'classification_serializer' referenced before assignment I was having an UnicodeEncodeError but I fixed it by adding "the fix encoding" step. I'll appreciate any cue about what could be causing this error, I don't understand why the error says something about threads since I'm not using threads.
