nbgrader: update the code stubs #7879

Open williamstein opened 2 months ago

williamstein commented 2 months ago

A user reports that there may be an incompatibility between new versions of nose testing and our nbgrader example stubs. I think they work fine in the default cocalc environments, but this should be tested. Also, I think nose is generally considered deprecated these days, and different unit test framework is in vogue in python-land. Maybe we should switch.

"I would also like to note that when I tried an nb-graded Python coding example the autograded test did not work, "No module called 'imp'". This seems to be an incompatibility between the nose testing package and Python 3.12. Perhaps there's a newer version of nose that works with Python 3.12, I haven't tried to upgrade it from within the CoCalc container. Maybe this is something you might check before you make a new version of cocalc-docker available (I have no idea if this incompatibility is also present in the cloud version of CoCalc)."

IMHO this should be fixed by switching from nose to pynose. It's "on my list", since I saw this in other onprem environments as well.
