Python 3 support

[4tikhonov]

We're considering to use Badgr to release badges indicating maturity of software and services EOSC Synergy project (http://eosc-synergy.eu).

At the moment server runs on python 2.7 and can became outdated. Do you have any plans to migrate Badgr to Python3?

As I understood from the Edubadges team, the documentation has not been updated yet. But in the developer branch Python3 is now being used. I am working now on a MVP based on this fork. Might be interesting to see how that development can also be helpful in your situation?

gpruim is right. Please checkout the development branch. This has been updated to use Python3 and Django 2.2.9.
We will merge with the master branch within 2 weeks.

Thanks, sounds good, we'll try it! Do you have any plans to run it on Kubernetes?

Actually we have a Docker Droplet on Digital Ocean as a container. In the future it could also be Kubernetes or no container. Within 2 weeks this should be running, we think.

SURF uses for now also the Docker containers in their testing environment, as I understood from @fransward.

Great, I'll connect you now with our guys doing the same in https://github.com/EOSC-synergy/badgr

I'll put German @gmolto and Miguel @micafer in the watchers list for this ticket, I've informed that about the progress. @gpruim and @fransward, can you please update this ticket when Python 3 support will be merged in the master branch?

[fransward]

Check! Will update this ticket after we have merged with master.
