UUID('...') is not JSON serializable
There is a bug ticket on Django regarding this issue however a custom so called 'complex encoder' by python docs can help you.
import jsonfrom uuid import UUIDclass UUIDEncoder(json.JSONEncoder): def default(self, obj): if isinstance(obj, UUID): # if the obj is uuid, we simply return the value of uuid return obj.hex return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)Now if we did something like this
json.dumps(my_object, cls=UUIDEncoder)Your uuid field should be encoded.
For using the UUID in a URL like that, you should pass it as a string:
return redirect(reverse('namespace:name', kwargs={'uuid' : str(object.id)}))FYI - it looks like WIMs answer is a bit more thorough. Your regex should certainly be tightened up. If you end up using the string representation of the slug, you'll want a regex like this: [A-Za-z0-9\-]+ which allows for alphanumerics and hyphens.
