runtests is broken in Django 1.8

[chrisdev]

django.test.simple was removed in 1.8

@chrisdev To Upgrade to Django 1.8 we have to do two steps -

• The module django.test.simple and the class django.test.simple.DjangoTestSuiteRunner are removed in django 1.8 so we have to use django.test.runner.DiscoverRunner

The code to be change in runtests.py as

def runtests(*test_args):
   if not test_args:
        test_args = ['django_pandas']

   parent = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
   sys.path.insert(0, parent)

   if django.VERSION < (1, 8):
      from django.test.simple import DjangoTestSuiteRunner
      failures = DjangoTestSuiteRunner(
      verbosity=1, interactive=True, failfast=False).run_tests(['tests'])
      sys.exit(failures)

   else:
      from django.test.runner import DiscoverRunner
      failures = DiscoverRunner(
        verbosity=1, interactive=True, failfast=False).run_tests(test_args)
      sys.exit(failures)

django.test.runner.DiscoverRunner is introduced only in Django 1.6 so we have to check for version.
This works and remove the existing error ImportError: No module named 'django.test.simple'

• The Tests now run fine in Django 1.7.x but in Django 1.8, some tests fail with attribute errors which can be fixed by making tests files compatible with django 1.8

Ok Is this all that is blocking 1.8 compatibility?
If this is the case maybe you can do a pull request?
Well done @Parbhat

[Parbhat]

yes @chrisdev

[Parbhat]

@chrisdev only one error is left specific to django 1.8, working to solve it

[chrisdev]

@Parbhat this error is a consequence of https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24211
qs.aggregate_names changed to qs.annotation_names
ValuesQuerySet() and ValuesListQuerySet() have been replaced by ValuesIterator

[Parbhat]

@chrisdev Great so now django-pandas can be upgraded to 1.8

[chrisdev]

Test are failing because our travis.cl and fox config sucks. We've got to update and modernise

[chrisdev]

Created a issue #50 to create a better travis/tox config.
