Change Proposal Name Django-2.0

Summary

This change is about upgrading python-django to version 2.0. The latest Django release drops support for Python 2, but still a few Django apps do not support Python 3.

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 28
  • Last updated: 2017-12-06
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

The latest Django release 2.0 finally drops support for Python 2.7. Not all dependent applications can keep up with Djangos pace. This change describes a way how to enable both, keeping 2.7 compatibility and also leveraging the latest version.

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora will be able to provide both: latest and current release and also a fallback for applications, which do not support Python3 yet.
