| """ | |
| Sometimes in your Django model you want to raise a ``ValidationError`` in the ``save`` method, for | |
| some reason. | |
| This exception is not managed by Django Rest Framework because it occurs after its validation | |
| process. So at the end, you'll have a 500. | |
| Correcting this is as simple as overriding the exception handler, by converting the Django | |
| ``ValidationError`` to a DRF one. | |
