 When using `TokenAuthentication`, you may want to provide a mechanism for clients to obtain a token given the username and password.  REST framework provides a built-in view to provide this behavior.  To use it, add the `obtain_auth_token` view to your URLconf:
 
-    urlpatterns += patterns('',
-        url(r'^api-token-auth/', 'rest_framework.authtoken.views.obtain_auth_token')

+    from rest_framework.authtoken import views
+    urlpatterns += [
+        url(r'^api-token-auth/', views.obtain_auth_token)
+    ]
 
 Note that the URL part of the pattern can be whatever you want to use.

 It's worth noting that there are a couple of edge cases we're not dealing with properly at the moment.  If we send malformed `json`, or if a request is made with a method that the view doesn't handle, then we'll end up with a 500 "server error" response.  Still, this'll do for now.
