# Python 3 Upgrade for Django Droplet
# Will update the "Django on 14.04" Digital Ocean image.
# Run as root.

# Grab psycopg2 and pip
apt-get install python3-pip python3-psycopg2

# Remove the Python 2.7 version of gunicorn, so we can...
pip uninstall gunicorn

# Install the Python 3 version of gunicorn, and a couple of dependencies.
pip3 install gunicorn tornado django
# Sadly, at time of writing, gevent isn't Python 3 compatible... But tornado is!
# So, switch them out with a little sed magic
sed 's/worker_class = '\''gevent'\''/worker_class='\''tornado'\''/' /etc/gunicorn.d/gunicorn.py -i.orig

# Restart gunicorn to make the changes take effect...
service gunicorn restart

# And we're good!

thanks !

Thank you so much. Beautiful how simple it was!
You should make it searchable in the digitalocean community (dont ask me, I dont know how).

after this gunicorn script it does not work and gives me the error 502

don't run the script, now I can't fix the 502 nginx error

You need to also update the nginx config files, which are all statically configured to point to the python2.7 site-packages directory.

root@tct001:/home/plucena# grep -R python /etc/nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/django: alias /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/; /etc/nginx/sites-available/django: alias /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/;

This may be leading to at least some of the errors.
