Unsupported notice

[stevelacey]

If this is library is no longer supported, which it looks like it mightn't be, a notice on the README would be useful. Especially considering this library is recommended by https://github.com/django-money/django-money which is currently supported.

For others reading, issues I ran into trying to get this to work this afternoon in Django 1.10:

• Importlib deprecation error in Django >=1.9 as per #11, #16 – I hacked this fixed in my install to see if the library otherwise worked
• Migrations aren't included or explained, I had to generate these then copy them into my project out of site-packages
• Update rates task doesn't appear to register – I've included the app in INSTALLED_APPS and even chucked the import in, but nada, doesn't seem to show up

I am going to look for alternatives at this point as I'm getting all of the smells that I shouldn't be using this.

Note I got further with https://github.com/panosl/django-currencies – with some minor fixes for Python3 (that may well be merged by the time anyone reads this) – it's relatively trivial to get a table full of currencies with symbols and rates.

@stevelacey We are starting to work at this project again, if you check out master's branch, django-1.10 compatibility issues should be solved. We'll release a new version once we fix all the pending issues.

@Psykopear Your message is promising, but it's almost a year old. Would be great to get a release as the latest is from 2014.

It seems django-money now supports rates directly see django-money docs

Edit: removed unnecessary detail confusing message.
