Breaks in Python3.6

[cnobile2012]

This may not be a big issue yet, but when I tried to run my tests in Travis it broke in DRF on Python3.6.

  The command "(cd inventory/settings/; ln -s travis.py local.py)" exited with 0.

This seems to be an issue with defusedxml tiran/defusedxml#4

This issue will be fixed in the next version of defusedxml. You can try temporary adding defusedxml==0.5.0.rc1 to your requirements.txt until the final release. Support for Python 2.6, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 will be dropped however.

@jpadilla - since there is no deliverable here, should we close this? Or leave it open and rerun travis tests when the next version of defusedxml is released?

[jpadilla]

defusedxml==0.5.0 was released but like @yennicks they're dropping support for a couple of Python versions. We still care about Python 3.3

We might be able to get around this by installing defusedxml<0.5 by default and defusedxml>=0.5 for Python 3.6.

Django 1.11 will drop support for python 3.3 in a month and python 3.3 is EOL in September 2017. You could also bump to this lib to 1.4 with defusedxml==0.5.0 and drop support for 3.3.
Potentially at the same time than the support for Django 1.10 and maybe 1.11 (see issue #19 )

[Nebuchadrezzar]

Looking for some clarification: if I use defusedxml5.0, can I use REST Framework XML with Python 3.6? Documentation explicitly states 3.4 not 3.6 as a requirement (https://jpadilla.github.io/django-rest-framework-xml/).

[kevin-brown]

Looks like this can be closed off. The support matrix was updated in #32 and this no longer appears to be an issue.

@kevin-brown thank you!
