django-timezone-field breaking celery-beat for Django 3

[npsqm]

Summary:

django-celery-beat-1.6.0 does not work with Django 3 because of it's dependency on django-timezone-field<4.0 because timezone-field<4.0 does not support Django 3. The breaking dependency change was introduced as a reaction to #296

• Celery Version: 4.4.0 (cliffs)
• Celery-Beat Version: django-celery-beat-1.6.0
• Djang Version: 3.0.3

Exact steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Install django-celery-beat-1.6.0 and Django 3.0.3
2. call django.setup() in your code (or do python3 manage.py shell I guess)

django.utils.six was dropped in django 3.0: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/#removed-private-python-2-compatibility-apis

[ErwinJunge]

#300 will fix this

[rmk135]

Have just faced the same issue.

Does anybody know when the hotfix could be published?

[frankyjquintero]

@auvipy @thedrow Please, an early release is needed to support Django 3.0

[shintojoseph1234]

Fixed this issue in #300

Uninstall the existing version using this code

pip uninstall django-celery-beat==1.6.0

Install the fixed version from master using the below code

pip install https://github.com/celery/django-celery-beat/zipball/master#egg=django-celery-beat

@auvipy You can close this issue now. Thanks

For those who install from pinned releases, is a numbered release with this fix coming soon?

[auvipy]

yes

[MartinFalatic]

This appears to be related to #308 - still awaiting a release with this fix.
