Open Stack

FWIW, Django 1.6 is not officially supported with Horizon yet.

That aside, pickle is generally a security risk (it's equivalent to eval), hence the move away from it in Django. We'll want to see what we can do about making things properly serializable with the JSON serializer in Icehouse. It shouldn't be hard.

Thank you for noting the temporary fix, though.

Hello,

It seems Django 1.6 switched from Pickle to Json for session serialization.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/http/sessions/#session-serialization

For anyone getting the error about Token not being serializable, just add the following in settings.py:
SESSION_SERIALIZER = 'django.contrib.sessions.serializers.PickleSerializer'
until this is "fixed".

Out of curiosity, should everything be switched to Json (make Token serializable), or Pickle will be used in the foreseeable future ?
