2018 Maintance Updates

[djstein]

• update urls to paths for Django 2
• define that only Python 3 is available (depreciate Python 2, if Django foundation is getting rid of it, it's time)
• add Pipfile and Piplock for Pipenv (https://github.com/pypa/pipenv)
• update setup.py and associated files based on https://github.com/kennethreitz/setup.py
• remove parser and throttle class variables such that the user defined REST_FRAMEWORK settings are those used instead. is allows the browse-sable API to be used as well!
• update gitignore with standard Python values
• update README to use markdown over rst as new PyPi now supports it!
• remove string formating using % as it is slower than using .format()
• use absolute paths over relative paths
• general style updates

@jakeprem anything you want to weight in on?

[djstein]

I am attempting to update the .travis.yml and tox.ini files based on what is described here but need a bit of help!

[aaronn]

Why put this here instead of the pipfile?

[djstein]

I assumed since we are still using setup.py to package, we need to require these. As they are the true base of the project. However, if it can be package and installed without these by all means I think we should remove it!

[aaronn]

Ah cool, nevermind– this makes sense.

[djstein]

@aaronn how do you feel about the switch to Django 2 aka Python 3 only?

[aaronn]

@djstein I'm cool with switching to Python 3 and Django 2

[djstein]

@aaronn got builds to pass on Python 3.5 and above, thoughts on removing 3.3, 3.4 from build?

[aaronn]

@djstein oops, sorry– just changed some stuff. yeah I don't mind going 3.6+ even

[djstein]

haha with my previous commit it worked without tox-travis should we use tox-travis or just standard tox?
Edit: I am not familiar with tox-travis

[aaronn]

@djstein feel free to roll 9c08d8b back and take out tox-travis. thought I figured out what was causing the travis failures. I'm not really familiar with tox or travis.

[aaronn]

let's change this to (1, 2, 0) and update it to 1.2.0 in __init__.py so I can upload to Pypi

[djstein]

for sure, I didn't want to change it since I can't upload!

[aaronn]

@djstein yeah, I can take care of this later myself once we get tests to pass too

[djstein]

so for the tox file:
[tox]
envlist = flake8-py3, py36, pypy
do we also need to remove those and let the environment be decided by the travis python version

[aaronn]

@djstein not sure, you had 3.5+ working earlier right? let's just use whatever you had working there

[aaronn]

@djstein seems like it's passing fine?
