Hi MalikRumi,

I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Django.

From what I can see the first exception occurred because you forgot to quote the string you attempted to pass to the uuid.UUID constructor. You can get a similar exception by simply pasting the expression 61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74 in a Python shell.

The second exception occurred because you attempted to construct a uuid.UUID instance by referring to the uuid module which you has not imported in your shell global context. I guess you simply imported UUID from uuid (you did from uuid import UUID instead of import uuid).

I suppose you got confused because the representation of uuid.UUID objects (repr(uuid.UUID('61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74'))), which is what your shell is displaying by default in Out[N]:, always include the uuid module prefix.

In the future please stick to the support channel (like the thread on django-users@) until you get a confirmation this is actually a bug as this tracker is not meant to be used as a support platform.

    initial v1  
    33Once I did the test suggested to me on SO, it became clear that this was not a json issue. That test was as follows:
    44
    5         In [5]: e.uuid
    6         Out[5]: UUID('61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74')
    7         In [6]: uuid.UUID(61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74)
    8         File "<ipython-input-6-56137f5f4eb6>", line 1
    9         uuid.UUID(61877565-5fe5-4175-9f2b-d24704df0b74)

    1315It 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:

    2327I 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.
