ImportError: cannot import name _uuid_generate_random

I'm setting up an AWS EC2 Ubuntu 16.04 instance of wspace. I have followed the Ubuntu + MySQL +Nginx install instructions up to the point of initialising the wspace database. However when I attempt to run:

./manage.py syncdb --all --noinput

I get the following stack trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Turns out _uuid_generate_random was removed in Python 2.7.11

https://hg.python.org/releases/2.7.11/rev/24bdc4940e81

The issue is coming from Kombu. Due to this I've revised the list of requirements-mysql.txt and suggest to update the following:

Django==1.8.15
PyYAML==3.12
amqp==1.4.9
billiard==3.3.0.23
celery==3.1.23
decorator==4.0.10
django-celery==3.1.17
feedparser==5.2.1
kombu==3.0.33
networkx==1.11
python-dateutil==2.6
python-memcached==1.58
pytz==2016.10
requests==2.12.4
six==1.10.0

This way the whole project is at the latest version of these packages which do not cause immediate issues. I ran the server and a celery worker to confirm this.

I just updated the requirements, which resolve this issue.
