[Error][Bug]adding silk middleware in MIDDLEWARE causes ImportError

[shahakshay94]

I followed the docs and tried to add the middleware line in different positions in MIDDLEWARE settings file, but I am getting "ImportError: No Module named context_processors"
Below is my full stack-trace of my error:

Below is my MIDDLEWARE settings:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

@shahakshay94
Do you know what version of Django you are running and what version of Silk you are trying to use?

[avelis]

This is likely caused by this change that trying to determine where to import csrf based on what version of Django.

I'm on Django 1.7.8 and Silk 0.5.7

[alexkunger]

I have found the issue.

The 0.5.7 release available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-silk does not contain the code here: 0.5.7...master which is what github says is in 0.5.7

[shahakshay94]

I have Django v1.7.1 and Silk v0.5.7

@shahakshay94 Release v0.6.0 should be available with the changes you are looking for. https://github.com/django-silk/silk/releases/tag/0.6.0
