Question
How to upgrade 1-click installer to Python 3 and newer version of Django?
So I am using the 1-click installer for Django, but found out is still using Python 2.7.6 and Django 1.6.1. Instead I want to use Python 3.x, but how do I do that?
I reviewed the article below, but again it focuses on Python 2.x:
The 1-click article about Django had some tiny bit of Python 3 information in the comment, but not enough for me to figure out what to do:

It is kind of baffling that there seems to be so little information about Python 3.x still and that so far I only found Heroku to have it ready to go. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey did you figure out how to do this?
I just went the 1-click route right now as well and noticed the same thing.
I’d really like to know this as well.
It would be really nice someone would answer the above question! We need Python 3+ now.
Wanting to know aswell. Python 3 is now standard....
I would love an answer to this question…
Interesting… It appears to me that DO’s image has both Python 2 and 3 in path. Type Python3 and you get Python3.4.3 from Oct 14, 2015 when building today (Aug 18, 2016). That said, I used some other DO documentation for their one-click-installer according the the instructions you’ve linked above and I cannot even locate it again. Plus, I’m guessing the image/scripts they use have changed since this original post. I cannot even get into the Django instance as appears the install credentials fail, root user credentials fail, the manage.py createsuperuser script fails.
Plus, what about these:
