Bug with python 2.6 - empty format placeholders

[spapas]

First of all kudos for django-datatable-view, i find it really helpful !

Now, I have found a bug when I tried to use it with python 2.6. In the file datatableview/helpers.py, line 86 there is the following code

return u"""<a href="{}">{}</a>""".format(instance.get_absolute_url(), text)

However, empty placeholders for format are not allowed in python 2.6 (it throws a ValueError: zero length field name in format, also check the answer to this SO question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10054122/valueerror-zero-length-field-name-in-format-python) - in 2.7 it is working fine.

I was able to fix it by changing the above line to:

return u"""<a href="{0}">{1}</a>""".format(instance.get_absolute_url(), text)

I'd really appreciate it if you apply the fix and put the new version in your pip repository.

Best regards,
