Name 'basestring' is not defined (django error) about pymemcache HOT 3 CLOSED

It looks like this is an issue with the djpymemcache library, which is here:

https://github.com/jsocol/django-pymemcache

You'll have to open an issue with them to get it fixed. They will need to change the line:

if isinstance(value, basestring):

to something like:

if isinstance(value, six.string_types):

That should make it compatible across Python 2 and 3, to the best of my knowledge (we don't use Python 3, so this is not an area in which I have much expertise).

I just noticed that we have a similar problem with our serde.py code, so I'll submit a separate fix for that.

Awesome, thank you. And sorry for reporting in the wrong repo (should have done more research before posting this).

No worries! Thanks for the report, I caught a bug in our code with it as well :)
