Switch from smart_unicode/force_unicode to force_text.
Review Request #10206 — Created Oct. 8, 2018 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Django's
smart_unicodeandforce_unicodefunctions were deprecated
long ago in favor ofsmart_textandforce_text. We use both in a few
places, though forsmart_unicodewe really wanted theforce_
versions.This change updates the code to call these modern methods instead,
getting us a small step toward modern Django compatibility.
Unit tests pass.
