I extend the login template of DRF
{% extends "rest_framework/login_base.html" %}
{% block branding %}
<h3 style="margin: 0 0 20px;">My site</h3>
{% endblock %}
with urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
url(r'^login', login, template_name, name='login'),
url(r'^logout', logout, template_name, name='logout'),
...
Everything works well except if the connection fails: DRF redirect to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-auth/login/ instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/ and my extended template is not used. So I lose my site name for "Django REST framework" title.

Put the template in templates/rest_framework/ and
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
If you extended it on project/templates/rest_framework/login.html:
{% extends "rest_framework/login_base.html" %}
{% block branding %}
<h3 style="margin: 0 0 20px;">My site</h3>
{% endblock %}
The name of your project's login form which is 'my site', shouldn't change.
For the unified resource locator you can try this:
url(r'^', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
So that upon redirection the url will be like in the below sample:
http://localhost:8000/login/
http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/
