Adding support for django 3 #57
Conversation
- django.shortcuts.render_to_response was deprectated in 2.0, and removed in 3.0. Changed function reference to its replacement, render() (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/shortcuts/#render-to-response) - adding Django 3.0 to tox
- fix tox (django 3 doesn't support python 3.5) - update static file loading, which caused an exception on Django 3 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24238496/what-is-the-difference-between-load-staticfiles-and-load-static)

Hi @ChrisBurch, The history of the project is that I developed it originally on my own time, but then Murdoch University (my employer at the time) - started using it for a few Django projects, so I've donated the project to them, but I still managed the project mostly on my own: fixes, upgrades, releases etc as required. I've left Murdoch University almost a year ago and I stopped responding to requests on the project as I don't have ownership of the project anymore. I see there isn't anyone actively looking after the project and I would be happy to maintain it again if muccg would transfer the ownership of the project back to me. @id2359 any chance of you transferring the project ownership back from muccg to my GitHub user (sztamas)? Thanks, Tamas |

Ah got it, thanks for the context Tamas! We'll wait to hear back from someone at muccg then. Best, |

Another friendly reminder if this can be merged. Thanks |
