Clean up and update dependencies

[brylie]

Make sure all dependencies are up to date (in addition to Django 3.2 LTS #848). Also, remove unneeded dependencies, such as

• django-notifications-hq (double-check how it is being used)
• channels
• asgi-redis
• coreapi
• requests (after disabling code that integrates 3rd party Propublica data)
• sunlight
• honcho
• sentry-sdk

Hey @brylie, I would like to take on this task if it's still open and needs to be resolved. Thanks.

[soumallyadev07]

Hey @brylie Would love to help with this!

[brylie]

Thanks, @soumallyadev07! Please let me know your progress and any hurdles in getting a development environment set up. I'll assign you to the issue, so we can indicate that it is in progress.

[brylie]

@soumallyadev07, would you mind saying how you found out about the CiviWiki project? I want to continue with community-building efforts, so any information about how to reach new contributors is welcome.

[brylie]

@soumallyadev07 would you be willing to start by upgrading the Django dependency to version 3.2 LTS? If so, we can start with issue #848

I'll set up my Dev Environment and get started!

I actually found this project on https://up-for-grabs.net/

Hey! I'm trying to set up my Dev Environment and upgrading the dependencies and I ran into 2 issues as of now, the psycopg2 is not getting install and throwing an error(Attached Screenshot).

2nd issue is coming from asgi-redis as it requires a lower version of channels while Django and some other libraries demand a higher one and there is no common version.

Instead of trying pip install psycopg2 try pip install psycopg2-binary, I'm pretty sure its the same thing. Check out this article to learn about the differences.

Thanks! I installed psycopg2-binary but I still don't seem to understand the error that is being generated here.

[mohas1203]

@soumallyadev07 To install psycopg2 there are a lot of dependencies that you need for it whereas psycopg2-binary usually just works after being downloaded. You can also check out this discussion where the address some of the problems

[fardeenes7]

Can I get a chance to work on the issue? I would really love to

[brylie]

In reqrirements.txt, change the following line

psycopg2==2.8.6

to

psycopg2-binary==2.8.6

Then re-run the build process.

I've changed and installed all the requirements and then tried to run -

python manage.py runserver

in the "project" folder but I'm getting the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'celery' error even though celery is installed using pip.

[brylie]

Edit: we will keep the Celery dependency, as it is needed for sending emails.

[fardeenes7]

hey @brylie should I give it a try?

[brylie]

@fardeenes7 it is a bit confusing for multiple people to work on the same issue. Would you consider trying an issue that is not assigned in our 2.0 backlog?

[brylie]

@North15 would you be interested in working on issue #848? That is a really important issue for keeping us up to date with Django LTS.

[North15]

@brylie Yes, I can start working on this issue.

[brylie]

@North15 ok, let's carry the conversation over to issue #848
