Hi !
I am currently writing an API for a django project, and using django-piston for this. However, I need to customize the way certain base types are serialized.
More precisely, my models are subclassed from a special Model class, which inherits from django.db.models.base.ModelBase, but cannot be serialized as regular django models .....
I'm trying to set up piston on my Django project. I ran into a brick wall when I tried to POST (create) a new entry on a model that contains a ForeignKey: location.
Here is the exact error I receive:
Cannot assign "u'1'": "Fest.location" must be a "Location" instance.
In the above example, I tried to send over location=1 in the POST.

I'm trying to save a new object from a django model using a POST data querydict. This is part of a PISTON handler. I've seen this done in numerous examples, but I just can't get it to work.
Here is my code:
class FestHandler(BaseHandler):
model = Deal
def create(self, request):
"""
Creates a new fest.
