[BUG] Fails in Django 3.0

[C0DK]

After upgrading to django 3.0, the module fails, it seems, due to some dependency on python_2 things from django, which might have been removed or changed. AFAIK python2 isn't officially supported anywhere anymore in 20~ days.

  File ".../venv/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. Should we remove support for python2 here? Anyway, this bug comes from Django 3.0, doesn't it?

[C0DK]

Sorry - yes - django3.0 - i'll edit the title

Maybe you could also utilize the new enum types that django officially support now. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/models/fields/#field-choices-enum-types

I'd probably create a "final" python2 version, and then slowly drop support, if i were you guys. It's a mess to support both it'd say.

Hi, could you paste your pip freeze? which version have you installed? The current version doesn't have "python_2_unicode_compatible"

[C0DK]

"django-multiselectfield==0.1.8" it seems.

[tomasgarzon]

ok, please update to last version 0.1.10.

[Ryan-F-Dyer]

django-multiselect fields doesn not work on latest Django and Python combination due to python_2_unicode_compatible dependency

Django 3.1.1 Python 3.8.5 django-multipleselectfield 0.2.0.post2

Please assist with any feedback.

Same issue django-multiselectfield==0.1.12 python 3.6.4 django 3.0.7

##Update Had to specifically use pip3 to install. Seems to be working now.

Python 3.8.10 Django 3.2.x django-multiselectfield==0.1.12

Same problem as above. Had nobody made a fix for this yet? 🤔
