• After updating to v1.3.1, both DB and your settings.py and ensuring that v1.3.1 is running under Python-2.7 with your new settings.py
• Create a Python 3.8.x virtualenv with all pip requirements see Running Skyline in a Python virtualenv and Installation - Skyline and dependencies install taking note that you will need to install the v2.0.0 dependencies e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/earthgecko/skyline/v2.0.0/requirements.txt
