I'm getting this. Any ideas? Only happens with JavaScript files. Versions: dj-static==0.0.5, static==1.0.2, and django-pipeline==1.3.16, Django=1.6.1.

Answer 1

Not much of an answer, I know, but taking out dj-static did it for me. You really don't need it if your using pipeline anyway as pipeline takes care of compiling your static files and putting them in a place where they can be served so long as you include the line:

(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}) in your urls.py

Answer 2

Issue was older versions of django-pipeline messaged with mimetypes entering unicode strings (not byte strings). Updating to version 1.3.22 fixes this.
