Project needs a requirements.txt file in to make the requirements clear

I started a 7 day trial yesterday and started the DRF course a short while ago.

I tried running code in the Workspace and got errors when I was re-directed to a browser window and was told there was a problem running the workspace.

I would run the code locally - but I don't know what version to use for Django and/or DRF. Please advise.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Opening up the workspace for the video just before this code challenge I've run the following:

treehouse:~/workspace$ python --version                                                          
Python 3.6.4                                                                                     
treehouse:~/workspace$ pip show django                                                           
Name: Django                                                                                     
Version: 1.9.9
...   
treehouse:~/workspace$ pip show djangorestframework                                              
Name: djangorestframework                                                                        
Version: 3.3.2         
...

Personally i would try running my code against the latest version, being more interested in seeing what code works validly for that than passes (skippable) Treehouse challenges - but I understand wanting to match your dev envrionment to the learning environment.

Cheers,

Eric
