Just wanted to share a relevant link that has been forwarded my way:

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/5ovwi8/django_20_will_not_support_python_2/
https://github.com/django/django/pull/7867/files

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/

Django 2.0 is scheduled to release in December 2017.
Django 1.9 extended support ends in April 2017.

This is low-priority for us right now, but we will need to evaluate what impact this will have on our codebase. How hard would it be for us to migrate to Python 3 and Django 2.0?

If the effort required is too much, I recommend taking this opportunity to create a new repository and fundamentally refactor the project. Bug-fixes on this repository should be continued regardless, of course, but before adding new features, I think it's important to address this topic. I have some ideas in this regard, and I think that the new API-based admin will enable some exciting possibilities down the line, but I wanted to field this question as-is first, before presenting other options.
