 Any global settings for a REST framework API are kept in a single configuration dictionary named `REST_FRAMEWORK`.  Start off by adding the following to your `settings.py` module:
 
-    REST_FRAMEWORK = {
-        # Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
-        # or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
-        'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
-            'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly'
-        ]
-    }
+```python
+REST_FRAMEWORK = {
+    # Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
+    # or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
+    "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES": [
+        "rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly"
+    ]
+}
+```
 
 Don't forget to make sure you've also added `rest_framework` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`.
 
 We're ready to create our API now.
 Here's our project's root `urls.py` module:
 
-    from django.urls import path, include
-    from django.contrib.auth.models import User
-    from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets
+```python
+from django.urls import path, include
+from django.contrib.auth.models import User
+from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets
 
-    # Serializers define the API representation.
-    class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
-        class Meta:
-            model = User
-            fields = ['url', 'username', 'email', 'is_staff']
 
-    # ViewSets define the view behavior.
-    class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
-        queryset = User.objects.all()

-    router = routers.DefaultRouter()
-    router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)
 
-    # Wire up our API using automatic URL routing.
-    # Additionally, we include login URLs for the browsable API.
-    urlpatterns = [
-        path('', include(router.urls)),
-        path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))

+router = routers.DefaultRouter()
+router.register(r"users", UserViewSet)
+
+# Wire up our API using automatic URL routing.

+urlpatterns = [
+    path("", include(router.urls)),
+    path("api-auth/", include("rest_framework.urls", namespace="rest_framework")),
+]
+```
 
 You can now open the API in your browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/](http://127.0.0.1:8000/), and view your new 'users' API. If you use the login control in the top right corner you'll also be able to add, create and delete users from the system.
