The issue arises because you are defining the get() method twice with different signatures. The second definition of get() without the id argument is the 'active' definition since it is defined last, and had no idea what to do with the extra 'id' argument. Python does not support function/method overloading like Java, because of PEP 8 and keep it simple and DRY and everything else about the Python philosophy. It also ultimately names for cleaner and more legible code. Not sure what you mean by a lot of customization. This code is pretty boiler plate and would be better served by using a generic viewset in DRF, such as ReadOnlyModelViewset: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/viewsets/#readonlymodelviewset -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
