Public bug reported:

Horizon's code base uses force_unicode()[0] function to ensure the an
object is correctly transformed to unicode text, this function is part
of Django. This function is deprecated.

Since Django 1.5 there are new functions to string handling[1] and
force_unicode() since then is an alias of force_text(), but only
available when Django is running in a Python 2.x interpreter, Django
doesn't provide the alias when is running on Python 3.x[2]

Horizon should start using force_text() to be able to run on Python 3
