urls.py , views.py need some changes to support Django > 3.2

[chayapan]

I'm getting this error when trying to add django-ide to a project.

• django [required: >=3.2, installed: 4.1.7]
• django-ide==0.0.5

.../lib/python3.10/site-packages/djide/urls.py", line 1, in <module>
    from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.conf.urls.defaults'

This is probably a simple fix per this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19962736/django-import-error-no-module-named-django-conf-urls-defaults

django.conf.urls.defaults has been removed in Django 1.6. If the problem was in your own code, you would fix it by changing the import to

from django.conf.urls import url, include

It seems 9e4cdea already made the change.

However that solution didn't work in my case. So I try this: Tivix/django-rest-auth#659

Then had another issue with djide/views.py which is addressed by:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7775062/porting-python-2-program-to-python-3-random-line-generator

def setMetaFile(app_name, metaData):
    IDE_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
    metaDataFile = os.path.join(IDE_PATH,'metafiles/.%s' % urllib.unquote_plus(app_name))
    try:
        handle = open(metaDataFile, 'w')
        handle.write(metaData)
    except IOError as err:
        errno, strerror = err.args
        return HttpResponse('File exception (%s): %s, %s'%(metaDataFile,errno,strerror))
    finally:
        handle.close()

Then

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2'

Then

ImportError: cannot import name 'render_to_response' from 'django.shortcuts'

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55911435/django-importerror-cannot-import-name-render-to-response-from-django-shortcu

from django.shortcuts import render     
...
        return render(request, 'ide.html', {'app_name':app_name})
...
        return render(request, 'index.html', {'apps':list(set(a))})

NameError: name 'patterns' is not defined

urlpatterns = [   
    url(r'^$', djide.views.edit, name='edit'),
    url(r'^tree-data$', djide.views.tree_data, name='treedata'),
    url(r'^model-editor', djide.views.model_editor, name='modeleditor'),
]

Then when editing a file:

    return open(os.path.join(rootPath, urllib.unquote_plus(id))).read()
NameError: name 'urllib' is not defined

• unquote_plus needs to be imported from urllib.parse.

from urllib.parse import unquote_plus, quote_plus
...
# change urllib.unquote_plus to unquote_plus

Then when saving changes:

    setMetaFile(request.POST.get('app_name'),request.POST.get('meta').decode('string_escape'))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28583565/str-object-has-no-attribute-decode-python-3-error

request.POST.get('meta').decode('string_escape'))
to
request.POST.get('meta')

Then

...line 66, in model_editor
    for (fileName,fileContent) in dataArray.iteritems():
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30418481/error-dict-object-has-no-attribute-iteritems

change .iteritems() to .items()
