Manual `measurement` dependency must now be specified when installing on Python 2.x #90

Closed BigglesZX closed 5 years ago

BigglesZX commented 5 years ago

Just a note that measurement has now published version 3.0.0 which drops support for Python 2.x. That library is referenced as a dependency of django-measurement using the specification measurement>=1.6. This means that in Python 2.x environments installation of django-measurement will now fail, since measurement 3.0.0 will be selected, and 3.0.0 includes a dependency on a version of sphinx that requires Python >=3.5 for installation.

A workaround I found for this is to add measurement<3.0.0 to your requirements.txt or setup.py file in addition to django-measurement. This ensures the 2.x-compatible version of measurement is resolved as a dependency when installing django-measurement.

Hope that helps someone else running into this issue. Thanks for a great package!

@BigglesZX thanks for the info. In fact both packages are maintained by me, so I was aware of the discontinued Python 2 support. Just for the record, this packages also no longer officially supports Python 2.

Since we are at it, I must highly encourage you to upgrade to Python 3. Python 2 reaches end of life in December.
