Sean C. Farley 87d06697f7 Pass request to related serializers
Related serializers may need access to the request to properly serialize
a child resource.  For example, reverse() in djangorestframework.reverse
uses request if available to return an absolute URL.  While the parent
resource has access to the request to generate the absolute URL, the
child resource does not.

Django REST framework
=====================

**Django REST framework makes it easy to build well-connected, self-describing RESTful Web APIs.**

**Author:** Tom Christie.  `Follow me on Twitter <https://twitter.com/_tomchristie>`_.

Overview
========

Features:

* Creates awesome self-describing *web browse-able* APIs.
* Clean, modular design, using Django's class based views.
* Easily extended for custom content types, serialization formats and authentication policies.
* Stable, well tested code-base.
* Active developer community.

Full documentation for the project is available at http://django-rest-framework.org

Issue tracking is on `GitHub <https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/issues>`_.
General questions should be taken to the `discussion group <http://groups.google.com/group/django-rest-framework>`_.

We also have a `Jenkins service <http://jenkins.tibold.nl/job/djangorestframework1/>`_ which runs our test suite. 

Requirements:

* Python (2.5, 2.6, 2.7 supported)
* Django (1.2, 1.3, 1.4 supported)
