Here's my branch: https://github.com/daviddavis/pulpcore/tree/django3

Most of everything is working aside from the task code (more on this below). The django-guid package has a 3.x version which they recommend using since it supports ASGI. However, it does not support Python 3.6. But it appears that django-guid 2.2 is working for now.

The biggest change will be handling django's ORM in our async code. Django's ORM is not async safe and therefore you have to use sync_to_async()[0] when calling django's ORM (otherwise you get an error[1]).

Alternatively, there is a variable we can set DJANGO_ALLOW_ASYNC_UNSAFE[2] but I don't think we should go this route. From the django docs, it says, "do not use this in production environments".

The compatibility status of django-guardian is a little unclear still. They have it in their test matrix but there is an unmerged PR addressing some compatibility issue.

django-guardian 2.4.0 was released and it claims support for django 3.2.
