Support for Pipenv and Python 3 idioms

What's new in this release:

• Pipenv is a vastly improved way of managing your dependencies. We will continue to maintain requirements.txt and keep them in sync with the Pipenv.lock using pinning and hashes.

• Originally edge was Python 3 only when it was introduced. Later many cool Python 3 constructs like super() were removed for backward compatibility with Python 2. Now that Django is Python 3 only, we have added them back!

  • We use pathlib for joining paths in settings files. For e.g. MEDIA_ROOT = str(BASE_DIR / 'media')
  • Calling super does not require passing the parent class

• Improved the cryptographic hash from MD5 as mentioned as suggested in Issue #80

• Updated dependencies like django-braces to their latest releases

• Host of other improvements

Updated to Django 2.0

• Supports Django 2.0 now with the new simplified url path syntax.
• Removed django-admin-bootstrapped and template due to improvements in the admin UI/UX.
• Updated some dependencies.

Revamped User Workflows and Many Improvements!

Detailed in the blog post

• Email-based logins!: Most websites don’t need usernames. Furthermore, the users have to come up with a unique and memorable username. But their email address is already unique and memorable, hence more widely used for logins these days.
• User profiles!: In 90% of the user based applications you will need to create a user profile. So we have added one with nice default fields like a user avatar image, bio etc. They are extendable too.
• Python 2.7 support!: Supporting Python 2.7 was a much requested change. Back-porting needed not just syntactic changes but some tricky Unicode management as well.
• Less Bootstrappish: After browsing through several examples of well designed bootstrap-based sites, several design improvements have been added like see-through navbar that changes on scroll, full cover image etc.
• Environment specific Settings and Requirements files: This was a convention most Django developers follow so the environment specific files have been split out.
• Authentication Workflows: In addition to signup, login and logout; we now have views to change password, reset password etc. They are class-based views, hence easier to extend.
• Lots more: check the wiki for details.
