the sandbox doesn't work due to incompatable version of django getting installed. about django-oscar-api

it turned out the django version specified in setup.py was causing this.

I’m sorry but the error you get has nothing to do with the minimum requirement of Django specified as 2.2.x but with the installed Django version on your system (4) which is not compatible yet with oscarapi.

You should install Django 2.2.x or 3.2 before installing oscarapi.

I’ll release a Django 4 compatible version when Oscar is doing as well.

See also the compatible Django versions in the django-oscar and django-oscar-api documentation.

@maerteijn I don't really get it because I was using a brand new virtualenv without a previous django installation.

@tofubit That is because we only defined a minimum version of Django and not a maximum version. So it will install the latest version of Django available which is version 4.

Install django-oscar in your virtualenv first which has the correct maximum version defined, then install the oscarapi sandbox and all will be fine.
