Django 1.11 Support

[matthewbest]

I followed the instructions for setting up a Django project with SQL Anywhere, but when I try to run python3 manage.py syncdb, or any other manage.py command for that matter, I get the following error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'sqlany-django' isn't an available database backend.

Full Traceback

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Python Environment
Django (1.8.5)
pip (9.0.3)
pkg-resources (0.0.0)
setuptools (39.0.1)
sqlany-django (1.13)
sqlanydb (1.0.9)

I'm using a virtual environment since my usual Django version is 1.11.

Please ignore the original post. I found the typo (sqlany-django vice sqlany_django) that was causing the error. However, when I was testing https://github.com/WaYdotNET/sqlany-django, I noticed that there are several errors that occur whenever I try to use manage.py migrate with Python 3.5. These errors occur on Django versions 1.9.x and 1.11.x.

We would love to make use of this product, but really need support for more modern Django versions.

Are there any plans to support a recent version of Django?
