Update Django/Python Testing Combinations

[carltongibson]

In three parts:

• Remove Python 3.2 and 3.3. from Django 1.9 tests See here
• Add Python 3.5 against 1.9
• Remove Django 1.5 and 1.6 Not Supported

[tomchristie]

Dropping 3.2 I get, not sure we gain anything dropping 3.3, probably be our baseline for a long while.

[tomchristie]

Oh wait, ignore that.

[carltongibson]

We’ve dropped support for Python 3.2 and 3.3, and added support for Python 3.5.

[tomchristie]

Yup

[carltongibson]

It looks like Travis doesn't yet have Python 3.5 available. See build here:

$ tox -e $TOX_ENV
GLOB sdist-make: /home/travis/build/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/setup.py
py35-djangomaster create: /home/travis/build/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/.tox/py35-djangomaster
ERROR: InterpreterNotFound: python3.5

It's in allowed_failures but I will investigate.

@carltongibson IMHO it's good enough as it stands. We might reconsider that once 1.9 is out.

[tomchristie]

1. Lets make the PR against the 3.3 branch.
2. Updates also against docs/README.
3. We could consider still supporting 1.6 - just because it isn't getting security releases anymore doesn't necessarily mean third party packages need to stop supporting it. Unsure.

[carltongibson]

OK. I'll redo the PR against 3.3 — and add the README/doc notes.

I don't mind which of the changes we want here. My personal view is to follow Django's supported versions, unless some commercial body wants to fund extra. But I'm not religious about that.

[carltongibson]

Re the Django 1.5/1.6 thing, I just had this conversation on django-appconf. It's more or less what I think:

...for me it's a scope thing. We have limited time to support the project, and, despite the fact that commercial bodies use/rely on the project, nobody is going to jump in with an offer to support development — so we do need to draw the line tightly. IMO. Discuss. :-)

[tomchristie]

Probably stuff to remove in compat too.

I'd say supporting a fixed number of Django versions would be reasonable. (Either 3 or 4)

[carltongibson]

I'll reopen this against 3.3.
