After upgrading our Django 1.11 project from Python 2.7 to 3.7, our single endpoint decorator to override django conf settings no longer works. requests.py inside the virtual environment /lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/http triggers the RequestDataTooBig exception (~line 271) before the change to DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE has been increased by our decorator. We are able to make the change global inside settings.py however we are concerned with the security vulnerabilities due to the size we want to allow for the single endpoint.

This seems like a Django specific error, in which case this isn't the correct bug tracker to report the problem.

Can you reproduce a problem with just straight Python, without using Django?

I think you are right. I'll move this to the Django bug tracker. 

Thank you.
