Py3 compatibility

[jmaupetit]

Thank you for this work! I tried django-elasticsearch with python 3 and "patatras" I realized that it's restricted to python 2.x

I think your approach is relevant and, if interested, I may help you porting this app to python3.

Tell me.

Hi, thanks for your interest,
The python3 compatibility would be rad ! My only worry is about unit tests, there is already 4 django versions to test, python3 would double that number, but please go ahead, I'll bundle the tests with nose or something.

Ok i'll give some impulse for python 3. Concerning unit tests, have you considered using tox to automatize application testing with multiple django and python releases?

[lauxley]

I actually made a PR with tox this morning #13, you can base yours on the branch feature/tox-tests-bundle. Or even add to it since I don't really see the point in merging it before making tests pass with python3, and we can rename the PR if need be.

Ok. I'll take a look by the end of the week.

Is anyone currently working on Py3 support?

[lauxley]

Not that i know of, i have a very early branch using 2to3 but it's not even worth sharing at that point, and i won't be back to it until January.

[jmaupetit]

My bad. Damned what appended since May? What a very long week :) @leotsem do you plan to work on it soon?
