Django 1.9 + DRF causing strange issues

[joe.s...@talktopebble.co.uk]

Hi,

I'm having a strange issue with Django 1.9 and Django Rest Framework 3.3. Most of the upgrade went well apart from one endpoint failing for a reason I can't figure out myself.

Here's the traceback:

Can you run the shell and see what the result of reverse('somethingelse-settlement-list')? 

Also, this SO post seems to have a resolution for this problem: https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/issues/1295

Looks to be an issue between reverse and the setup in urls.py.
