Use Celery 4.x when running on Python 3
Review Request #11188 — Created Sept. 19, 2020 and submitted
The support matrix between versions of Celery, Django, and Review Board
is tricky and complex. Celery 3.x, the version we were on, doesn't
support running on Python 3. Celery 4.x, which does support Python 3,
doesn't support Django 1.6.This change makes us conditionally use Celery 4.x when running on Python
3, and Celery 3.x when on Python 2.7. The 3.x version is pinned to
3.1.25 or newer, which introduces a forward-compatible wire protocol
with 4.x. We therefore end up with this support matrix:RB | Python | Django | Celery
------+--------+--------+------------
3.0.x | 2.7 | 1.6 | 3.1.25+, <4
4.0.x | 2.7 | 1.11 | 3.1.25+, <4
4.0.x | 3.6+ | 1.11 | 4.4+, <5
Configured and ran Review Bot with the server and worker running on
both Python 2.7 and 3.8. Saw that it worked with both the 3.1.25 and
4.4.7 versions of Celery.
