Hey @CodeWithEmad, thank you for this contribution!

Let us know when it's ready for review.

[CodeWithEmad]

For sure, @itsjeyd. I will worl on it in the coming days. In the meanwhile, I wanted to ask about the current state of tests. Should we have the CI actions run only on Python 3.12 or we have to have 3.8 also?

[itsjeyd]

@CodeWithEmad Sounds good!

In the meanwhile, I wanted to ask about the current state of tests. Should we have the CI actions run only on Python 3.12 or we have to have 3.8 also?

I'll forward this question to @feanil.

[feanil]

We should continue to run the testing with both Python 3.11 and 3.12 but dropping 3.8 is totally fine across all openedx projects.

[CodeWithEmad]

@feanil I'm working on dropping Python 3.8 here, but there are a couple of blockers here: the dev image is using the xblock-sdk image,

https://github.com/openedx/edx-cookiecutters/blob/46948ba89cdbbd29c90f59ebf405cd867bfa05b3/cookiecutter-xblock/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.repo_name%7D%7D/Dockerfile#L2

which is still using Python 3.8, https://github.com/openedx/xblock-sdk/blob/1760448ebb073edba35be87d99f474d90d9421ac/Dockerfile#L19 I found this https://github.com/openedx/xblock-sdk/pull/350, but it's stuck for a while. Also, lint jobs are failing since there's no pkg_resources and edx-lint is still using it: https://github.com/openedx/edx-lint/pull/398

https://github.com/openedx/edx-cookiecutters/actions/runs/10206678813/job/28240034237?pr=471

[feanil]

@CodeWithEmad I'll see if we can land the xblock-sdk issue first then we can update that as a part of the PR here.

[farhan]

Issue will be fixed in https://github.com/openedx/xblock-sdk/pull/397 Hopefully this PR will be unblocked to work on once its merged and docker image pushed. FYI: @CodeWithEmad

[CodeWithEmad]

Thanks, @farhan. I'll continue this in the coming weeks.

[CodeWithEmad]

@farhan I created an XBlock from the cookiecutter and installed it in the xblock-sdk as well.

It's working as expected.

[itsjeyd]

@CodeWithEmad Looks like this PR is ready to merge! 🚀

@farhan Do you have the necessary permissions or will we need to ask Axim to merge the changes?

[farhan]

I don't have merging rights @CodeWithEmad Do you have merging rights? or @kdmccormick @feanil can help

[CodeWithEmad]

@itsjeyd Looks like this is ready to merge!

[kdmccormick]

Thanks @CodeWithEmad !
