Drop python2 support This mostly consists in removing the dependency on "six" and updating the code to use only Python3 idioms. Notice that we previously used TemporaryDirectory from cubicweb.devtools.testlib for compatibility with Python2. We now directly import it from tempfile.

CSS Stylesheet

Conventions
~~~~~~~~~~~

.. XXX external_resources variable
..    naming convention
..    request.add_css


Extending / overriding existing styles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We cannot modify the order in which the application is reading the CSS. In
the case we want to create new CSS style, the best is to define it a in a new
CSS located under ``myapp/data/`` and use those new styles while writing
customized views and templates.

If you want to modify an existing CSS styling property, you will have to use
``!important`` declaration to override the existing property. The application
apply a higher priority on the default CSS and you can not change that.
Customized CSS will not be read first.
