Piston subclass of HttpResponse fails with Django 1.5

[Gavin Panella]

In piston/utils.py, HttpResponse is subclassed. Owing to a change in Django >= 1.5 this no longer works. The problem is explained at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16294518/httpresponse-has-no-attribute-get-content and a solution has already been proposed at https://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston/pull-request/34/added-compatibility-with-django-v15-for/diff.

The referenced pull request ought to be merged into Piston, and the python-django-piston package needs to be updated with this fix. This affects MAAS, though no change is needed in MAAS.
