Django 1.11 ended mainstream support 3 years ago, and LTS support ended just over 1 year ago (handy table). I'd guess it's is a bit too old to support at this point?

That said, it would be good to understand from a design perspective the intent for support planned for other frameworks. I looked in the contribution guidelines and READMEs but didn't find anything too obvious!

We haven't made a decision on which versions of which frameworks are to be supported. Nevertheless, this may no longer be relevant after #475 is merged.

OK. If it can not support Django 1.11, the install_required should be update. The supported Django version should be clear.

Like @ocelotl said, we don't have any guidelines yet but in general I think we wouldn't add support for very old versions but if we already support a version, I don't think we'd drop it as the library is EOLed unless it becomes too painful to support very old and latest versions at the same time.
