AdminRenderer does not work without pagination being enabled

[parisk]

Attempting to load a view rendered with AdminRenderer results to server error, if no pagination class has been set up.

I assume that this should either be fixed or documented at http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/renderers/#adminrenderer.

What's the error?

It's a TypeError (list indices must be integers, not unicode).

Same error here. I use release 3.2.2.

It occured when i give a list to a Response object as data.
(Actually not just list, all non-dict types cause error at this point, i think)

https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/blob/ed65db367ad9cd9d2fbb4da2ef8093b9a93a4fd6/rest_framework/renderers.py#L740

      paginator = getattr(context['view'], 'paginator', None)
      if (paginator is not None and data is not None):
          try:
              results = paginator.get_results(data)
          except KeyError:
              results = data
      else:
          results = data

It handles just KeyError and it is only for dict type data.
And paginator.get_results is:
https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/blob/ed65db367ad9cd9d2fbb4da2ef8093b9a93a4fd6/rest_framework/pagination.py#L161

def get_results(self, data):
    return data['results']

So, when data is a list type object, it makes like [1,2,3]['results'].
I think one solution may be:

def get_results(self, data):
    if isinstance(data, list):
        return data
    return data['results']

Thanks for raising this, folks!
