How to upgrade 1-click installer to Python 3 and newer version of Django?

Posted on March 19, 2016

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:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn

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!

Following this question as well. Be awesome for DO to allow user which versions to install for images.

Also not getting anywhere with the 1 click install. It does all the wrong versions. Best is to build server from scratch until DO allows users to pick their versions. Also trying to change everything to python3 form the 1-click-install python2 always ends messy.

Been trying to figure out how to do this. I’d love to upgrade the 1 click Django install to Django 2. @joelrinkoff does your solution upgrade the server’s software and allow us to work with Django 2 without any other config etc?
