dj-database-url is Out of date

[Jan Gazda]

Hi, I'm using django-environ at the moment and this looked like a good replacement until I read the dependencies.

The reason I searched was that many django projects reading environment variables are not maintained or did not release the changes.

dj_database_url is version 0.5 and renders wrong db engine. postgresql_psycopg2 jazzband/dj-database-url#131 - which according to comments had been fixed in the master but not released.

I abandoned dj_database_url for django-environ which I found out suffering from the same problem (not releasing) joke2k/django-environ#282

Would you consider abandoning or vendoring dj-database-url?

I'd rather not vendor dj-database-url. For now, I recommend it through git, pinning to a commit that includes the relevant fix.
