Added Python 3 compatibility to sample project.

Removed utils file and moved map_path function to settings.py.
Refactored tests for Python 2 and 3 compatibility.
Added inheritance check to get proper determination if a SortableForeignKey field is defined but the specified model does not inherit from Sortable.
