tutor-credentials codebase Python 3.11 upgrade

[DawoudSheraz]

• Ensure tutor-credentials is compatible with Python 3.11
• Update Python to 3.11 in Dockerfile for nightly and ensure the image builds as expected. The changes would be merged to nightly. This task would rely on upgrade of credentials to Python 3.11

See overhangio/tutor#1004 for the context.

I attempted building Credentials dockerfile on Python 3.12 on Nightly branch. I had to make the following changes
tutor-credentials/tutorcredentials/templates/credentials/build/credentials/Dockerfile
L28-L30 (Python and Pyenv)

ARG PYTHON_VERSION=3.12.2
ENV PYENV_ROOT /opt/pyenv
RUN git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv $PYENV_ROOT --branch v2.3.36 --depth 1

L64 - L68 (setuptools and pip update)

RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/openedx/.cache/pip,sharing=shared pip install \
    # https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/
    # https://pypi.org/project/pip/
    # https://pypi.org/project/wheel/
    setuptools==69.1.1 pip==24.0 wheel==0.43.0

However, the build failed when installing credentials requirements with the error:

17.12 ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement didkit==0.3.2 (from versions: 0.0.1, 0.2.1)
17.12 ERROR: No matching distribution found for didkit==0.3.2
------
Dockerfile:72
--------------------
  70 |     
  71 |     # Install base requirements
  72 | >>> RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/openedx/.cache/pip,sharing=shared pip install -r requirements/production.txt
  73 |     
  74 |     # Install extra requirements
--------------------
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c pip install -r requirements/production.txt" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

python3.12 has only support for didkit==0.0.1, didkit==0.2.1.
didkit==0.3.2 is used in credentials requirement files, I suspect the docker image build will fail until the underlying code in credentials is updated to 3.12.

Is there an upstream issue to track the 3.12 upgrade in openedx/credentials? You should report your findings to the repo maintainers.

[DawoudSheraz]

openedx/public-engineering#234 does not specify any issue on credentials, I dont see any active issue on https://github.com/openedx/credentials/ either. Though there is a PR up to add Python 3.11 and 3.12 support openedx/credentials#2389

[DawoudSheraz]

The upstream PR has been merged, this should be unblocked now.

As CC to credentials repo I'll take the problem with didkit to work.
I'll update this issue as soon as it resolved

This seems to also be an issue for Credentials with Python 3.11 too -- I opened an issue yesterday against the Credentials repo to share my findings thus far: openedx/credentials#2477.

[Faraz32123]

closing this issue as its PR is merged.
NOTES:

• Credentials codebase is not compatible with python3.12 yet.
• CI: temporarily skipping building on arm64. As the upstream credentials repo seems to be breaking on arm64 and they are skipping arm64 builds as well due to the didkit package dependency not available on arm64 yet.

Hey @Faraz32123, didkit issue was resolved in version v0.3.3, after merging requirements upgrade PR into credentials, the compatibility with python 3.12 and arm64 will be fully resolved, so it can unblock any further works
