Unable to run when installing like described in the documentation

[flokli]

I created a new virtualenv, and did a pip install localshop inside.

However, I'm unable to run localshop init as described in the docs:

$ localshop init

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

[aiguofer]

encountering same issue, and this had been reported in #172 as well; still no solution

[mpounsett]

Since #172 is now closed, I'm reproducing my comments here:

This is still a problem with python 3.6.5 and 2.7.15. If I install kombu==3.0.30 (as suggested in #172) then the localshop.settings error goes away, but moves to something else.

python 3.6.5: AttributeError: module 'html.parser' has no attribute 'HTMLParseError'
python 2.7.15: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading either pysqlite2 or sqlite3 modules (tried in that order): No module named _sqlite3

[sposs]

I'm afraid the current version in pypi is outdated and cannot work with python3...

I am dealing with this same issue. Upgrading kombu to 3.0.30 causes the HTMLParseError which is resolved by upgrading django from 1.7.1 => 1.8. This brings up a new error due to dropped python 2 compatibility:
ImportError: cannot import name 'LaxOptionParser'
