generated url = http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/projects/?priority=4

restconnect.py{

local = 'http://localhost/' base = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/'   def sign_in(current_user, username, password):         response = current_user.get(base + 'api-auth/login/', auth=(username, password))         print response         print response.url         print response.reason  # of intentionally generic , little rough (the way session being passed) def find_priority(current_user, username, password):     find_projects = {"priority": "4"}     response = current_user.get(base + 'projects', params=find_projects,  auth=(username, password))     print response     print response.url     print response.text
