I tested out openstack-dashboard for ocata with python-django 1.10.3 and python-django-compressor 2.1, and all looks to be working fine. I also upgraded from python-django 1.8.7 -> 1.10.3 with no issues. It's worth noting that my testing was limited to backported packages on xenial, and I don't see any reason why zesty results would be any different. I'm ok with syncing python-django 1.10.3 into zesty from an openstack perspective.
