Support Python 3 Only

See original GitHub issue

At the start of next year (2018) Django 2.0 will be released and Python 2.7 support will be a thing of the past. I want to begin the move sooner, rather than later, to a Python 3-only project.

TODO list:

Tag the last version of this project supporting 2.7
Remove all file encodings (# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-)
Remove Cookiecutter logic branches that support Python 2.7 (i.e use_python3 == ‘N’ )
Remove any references to the six library
Remove all __future__ code

As for which Python 3 version we support, for now, we’ll stick with Python 3.5. Once a few lingering issues are resolved though, I want to move us up to Python 3.6.

@jayfk I want to do this before we get Django 1.11 working. For no other reason that it’s a LTS version and I don’t want to have to support Python 2.7 for several years while people work off old commits of this project. Therefore, I’m commencing on this RIGHT NOW. 😀

Closing this as done!
