Make compatible with Django 4.0

[roordaj]

Hi,

I just started using DTU in a Django 4.0 project. I noticed that the following changes had to be made to be compatible. I made the changes in my virtualenv and it's working now, but it would be great if it is changed in the source code so that i dont have to ship my own copy of DTU with the source code. I'm relatively new to Django so please advice if there is a better way to solve these issues.

Following changes have to be made:
tenants > models.py

• replace ugettext_lazy with gettext_lazy
• remove providing_args from the Signals

permissions > models.py

• replace ugettext_lazy with gettext_lazy

I thought there was a Django 4.0 issue already, so thanks for opening. More than happy to take a look at a PR, otherwise, I'll add it and get a release out, which is way overdue.

Thanks so much @Dresdn! When are you planning to create a new release and push that to PyPi?

Hi @roordaj - I'll get something out this week! I've been dragging my feet a bit on it.

Looking forward to it too!

If anyone reaches that issue as I did and if the release is not out yet, here's a quick and dirty solution to make your project work while awaiting official solution:

# in settings.py
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy
from django.dispatch import Signal
django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy = gettext_lazy
django.utils.encoding.force_text = force_str


class CustomSignal(Signal):
    def __init__(self, providing_args=[], use_caching=False):
        super().__init__(use_caching)


django.dispatch.Signal = CustomSignal

This will prevent crashes due to the use of removed methods in django 4.
