Argument to_json added to json function in Base view. Its value (which should be a boolean) determines if the data should be converted to a JSON object. Therefore if someone has already a JSON string and wants to return it in a HTTP response, he or she may set to_json=False and the object will not be converted.

Thanks for downloading Django.

To install it, make sure you have Python 2.3 or greater installed. Then run
this command from the command prompt:

    python setup.py install

Note this requires a working Internet connection if you don't already have the
Python utility "setuptools" installed.

AS AN ALTERNATIVE, you can just copy the entire "django" directory to Python's
site-packages directory, which is located wherever your Python installation
lives. Some places you might check are:

    /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages (Unix, Python 2.4)
    /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages (Unix, Python 2.3)
    C:\\PYTHON\site-packages         (Windows)

This second solution does not require a working Internet connection; it
bypasses "setuptools" entirely.
