Could we add support for Django 4+

[BuddhiAbeyratneAL]

Currently seeing an issue importing this into a project with the latest version of Django
Is there a reason why we are pegged to bellow 4.0 ?

Is the issue you are seeing like the following:
ImportError: cannot import name 'force_text' from 'django.utils.encoding'
encountered in metadata.py?

I was also having trouble when installing this into my django 4.0.4 project using poetry as a package manager. It was failing because this package lists Django <4 and djangorestframework < 3.12.0 in both dynamic_rest/install_requires.txt and dynamic_rest/dynamic_rest.egg-info/requires.txt, which basically means a fail if either of those don't meet those requirements.

I was able to get around this temporarily by simply removing the upper limits before installing in my environment. This is less-than-ideal, but it seems to be working for now. I'll report back if I discover any other issues.

Edit:

...and I quickly ran into the error @AARONJVC mentioned

If I can get my fork working, I'll submit a PR.

Just added PR #339 to add Django 4 support.

When will the new version be available on PyPI? The latest version on PyPI is 2.1.2, with the latest Git tag being 2.1.6.

Would be good to fix this Django deprecation warning in a Django 4 migration:

  /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py:91: RemovedInDjango41Warning:

  'dynamic_rest' defines default_app_config = 'dynamic_rest.apps.DynamicRestConfig'. Django now detects this configuration automatically. You can remove default_app_config.

This deprecation warning comes from: https://github.com/AltSchool/dynamic-rest/blob/v2.1.3/dynamic_rest/__init__.py#L12

Edit: opened a separate issue #360 for this

For those asking how to install newer versions, as a workaround until next formal release, you install Git tags like https://github.com/AltSchool/dynamic-rest/releases/tag/v2.1.6 directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/AltSchool/[email protected]
