Doesn't work with Python 2.6

Attempt to use it with Python 2.6/Django 1.3 fails:

TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/agenda/event/1/

Caught ViewDoesNotExist while rendering: Could not import agenda.views.vobject_django. Error was: No module named _thread

Hey Yuriiz,

The django-agenda up has not been maintained for a VERY long time.

However, it seems that this problem is related to the vobject module, as
I'm pretty sure I'm not using threads anywhere in the code. Did you try
upgrading vobject with pip install --upgrade vobject?

Kind regards,
Mathijs de Bruin

Hi,

I've found a problem. It was not in django-agenda itself but in dateutil.rrule module used by django-agenda. It uses _thread module which is available only in Python 3. Changing it to use thread.Lock() fixed the problem.

Thanks,
Yurii
