Dependencies

• Django: Depends on Django 1.8 or above
• Python: 2.7, but Python 3.3 support is being added
• pep8 and pylint: Not required for functionality but we like QC before committing any code changes so these tools need to be available. Note that if you'd like to contribute, any code you write must give a clean output with pep8 and score 10/10 with pylint using the configuration file conf/pylint.conf in the package
