Django Rest API urlsplit error

Question

I am trying to set up an API using Django Rest, I've attempted to use the quick start guide, but all I can get is this error:

'Module_six_moves_urllib_parse' object has no attribute 'urlsplit'

I can't find any reference to this error on the internet, let alone how to solve it.

Here is my urls file:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib import admin

from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets

admin.autodiscover()


class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('url', 'username', 'email', 'is_staff')


class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^', include(router.urls)),
    url(r'^', include('logs.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
)

Try upgrading your version of Django. Base 1.6 doesn't have this function, but 1.6.3 does. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.6.3/
