Django-autocomplete-light: Select2: incompatible with Django 1.11

[Schnouki]

Version 3.3.2 of dal_select2 depends on admin/css/vendor/select2/select2.css. But this file doesn't exist in Django 1.11; in fact the whole admin/css/vendor folder is missing. It seems to be introduced in Django 2.0.

Would it be possible to fix that please?
Thanks!

Any effort put into making DAL compatible with old versions of Django and Python should better be put into porting your project to Django 2 and Python 3 (paying your tech debt).

That said, contributions are welcome. Please just try to not duplicate the issue.

FYI 1.11 is not just an old version of the Django, it's the current LTS.

I have found version 3.2.10 to be compatible with Django 1.11.

@Schnouki being LTS doesn't make it recent. In March 2018, Ubuntu 16.04 was old, even if it was LTS until 18.04.

Contributions for python 2 or django 1.11 are welcome, but don't count on me because from my opinion it's old versions.

We've been maintaining multi-python/django versions on this software for years, for free, it's a lot more effort than just upgrading our project codes to latest version, which offers much better ROI and will always be the advice of YourLabs Business Service: pay your debt as early as possible instead of waiting the last minute, because as you wait, interest for your tech debt grow.

Cruel, indeed, but technically correct from all respects - especially for a free service of this level.

Thanks @raratiru but you know how it is people shoot the messenger when they don't like the message :joy:

Please re-open if occurs again on 3.4.0 which re-enables python 2 support
