This repository is using Ubuntu 20.04 for testing. That version of Ubuntu will be out of support before Teak. Therefore this repo needs to be updated to testing with Ubuntu 24.04 before Sumac is cut to allow everyone sufficient time to switch to the new version.

Update this repository to test with Ubuntu 24.04 so that we can make the switch.

• Tests are run and passing on Ubuntu 20.04 and 24.04
• If major changes were needed and this is a library, a new version is published to PyPI or NPM

Note: In some cases, it may not make sense to test with both the old and the new version. For example, if the workflow is running linting or publishing to a package manager. In these cases, simply update the workflow to run on the newer version or opt to set it to ubuntu-latest instead if it doesn't matter what version it's running on. If you're unsure, reach out to the maintenance working group in #wg-maintenance in slack for guidance.

Known affected workflow files:

• .github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml
• .github/workflows/ci.yml

Description:

Follow and complete all of the following steps for the issue to be marked as done.

• Update the tox.ini, setup.py, setup.cfg, or pyproject.toml to remove Python 3.8 and add support for Python 3.12.
• Ensure GitHub Actions workflows, including the CI matrix, are updated to reflect the supported Python versions (3.11, and 3.12).
• Adjust any testing or build configurations to ensure compatibility with Python 3.12.
• Remove references to Python versions earlier than 3.11 from all relevant configuration files.
• Run all tests and verify they pass in the CI with the updated versions.
• Add a CHANGELOG entry: “Dropped support for Python 3.8 and added support for Python 3.12.”
• Bump the package version and release a new version on GitHub & PyPI (where applicable).

This repository is a depedency of edx-platform and needs to be upgraded to Python 3.11 before
the Readwood release is cut (mid-April).

• Requirements are compiled with Python 3.8
• Tests are run on Python 3.8 and 3.11
• (Optional) Tests are also run with 3.12 and passing or 3.12 issues are ticketed.
• Classifiers in setup.py setup.cfg or pyproject.toml indicate Python 3.11 support
• A new version is release to PyPI
• A PR is merged to edx-platform to use the new version
