Django 3.1/asgiref 3.3.1 support for StreamingHttpResponse

Hi,

I am attempting to upgrade from Django 3.0 to 3.1 and asgiref 2.x to 3.x, and noticed a breakage in a view which I suspect might be related to its usage of StreamingHttpResponse. The code in question now raises the following exception:

django.core.exceptions.SynchronousOnlyOperation: You cannot call this from an async context - use a thread or sync_to_async.

(There is a subsequent exception, appended below, which I assume that is caused by this exception). I see that the immediate cause of the problem is the ORM query in my mobile_views.py, but I cannot seem to find the correct way to wrap the query in sync_to_async() or database_sync_to_async(). Any hints or pointers would be most welcome.

Thanks, Shaheed

Attachment: second exception for reference...
