Background: I've been struggling for about a week trying to use fixtures
to load initial data into a website. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35463713/badly-formed-hexadecimal-uuid-
string-error-in-django-fixture-json-uuid-conversi and
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-users/Q4zybgExDyY.
Once I did the test suggested to me on SO, it became clear that this was
not a json issue. That test was as follows:
In [5]: e.uuid
Out[5]: UUID('61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74')
In [6]: uuid.UUID(61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74)
File "<ipython-input-6-56137f5f4eb6>", line 1
uuid.UUID(61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax # It doesn't show here for some
reason, but the caret is pointing to the 4th '5' in the 12th position,
from left to right.
It did not matter if I copy pasted the uuid or retyped the whole thing by
hand, I got the same error. If I quoted the uuid, I got a different error:
In [7]: uuid.UUID('61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call
last)
<ipython-input-7-3b4d3e5bd156> in <module>()
----> 1 uuid.UUID('61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74')
NameError: name 'uuid' is not defined
I am using Ubuntu 15.10, Django 1.9.1, Postgresql 9.4 and Python 2.7.10. I
don't know if this a Python issue rather than a Django issue, but it
can't, or shouldn't, be that Django/Python can't accept, recognize, or
evaluate a uuid it generated seconds earlier.
