Invalid Call to InMemoryChannelBackend about channels

[ricomoss]

If I update BaseChannelBackend's __init__ definition to:

def __init__(self, routing=None, expiry=60):

I am able to launch the dev runserver. I will continue with this change unless you specify otherwise.

I see now that I did not follow the docs far enough. I assumed that I would be able to run Django without an initial setup of channels. Oops.

I think it might be worth noting in the docs that Django will not run with channels installed unless channels is configured properly.

No, you're right, Django should run without any config if you just install "channels" - it's likely I just missed something when adding routes as an argument to backends.
