Versions please? I bet you're using wrong version of some library.

Try installing the exact versions from requirements.txt.

[zohrenkz]

Django==1.11.13
django-mongodb-engine==0.6.0
django-rest-framework-mongoengine==3.3.1
djangorestframework==3.8.2
djangotoolbox==1.8.0
mongoengine==0.9.0
pymongo==3.6.1
pytz==2018.4
six==1.11.0

[BurkovBA]

This example is tested to wok with:

django==1.9
djangorestframework==3.3.3
mongoengine==0.9
pymongo==2.7
django-rest-framework-mongoengine

I'm afraid, I can't offer a version that is guaranteed to work with later versions. If you could update some of those and send a PR, I'd be happy to accept it.
