Support Django 3.0

[shangxiao]

Looks as though django.utils.encoding.python_2_unicode_compatible() has been removed from Django which this library makes use of. It was just an alias to six anyway.

i am also facing this problem. Do you have any updates here?

[brylie]

FWIW, we just removed this library from our project in order to move forward with development.

@brylie Unless you are financially supporting @fusionbox, why are you bringing this up? They provided this code gratis, you used it for free, how have you contributed back?

[brylie]

@pydanny I understand that we are not entitled to anything from Fusionbox.

At the same time, we are free to tactfully discuss decisions and experiences within the open-source community, particularly on developer networks like GitHub.

why are you bringing this up?

Simply to share my perspective as a developer with other developers who might be facing a similar decision.

how have you contributed back?

I am writing open-source software on nearly a daily basis, so am perhaps paying things forward.

As an aside, thank you for producing such excellent educational resources for the Django community, including Two Scoops and the Django Crash Course.

We apologize for letting this project stagnate for so long. We just released version 2.0, which supports Django 3.x and 4.0 and we hope to maintain it more actively going forward.
