* Update Financial Assistance logic
Use the zendesk proxy app instead of the unsupported zendesk library.
* Move to pre-fetching the group IDs.
Rather than making extra requests to zendesk to list all groups and find
a specific group ID. Just make a pre-filled list of group IDs for the
groups we care about. When a group name is passed in, it is checked
against this list and the ticket is created in the correct group so the
right people can respond to it.
* Remove old performance tests that we haven't been running.
As far as I can tell, these tests to capture HAR files were created 5
years ago and not being run as a part of our suite? They capture HAR
data that we do nothing with so even if they were running we should
remove them until we're ready to care about consuming this kind of
information.
* Update password test unicode string.
* Add ugettext translation helper function.
* Fix lambda syntax that is not valid in python 3.
* Fix ur raw strings which his not valid in python 3
* Use edx_six.get_gettext instead of ugettext.
* Fix a few other encoding issues.
* Don't use old form of sorted funciton.
This form which uses a 'cmp' method is not available in python 3.
* Convert to using ExitStack instead of nested.
nested is not available in Python3.
* Use ExitStack from contextlib2.
ExitStack has not been backported to the Python 2.7 standard library and
contextlib.nested is no longer available in Python 3.5. We need to be
able to use something in both 2 and 3 as we transition so we'll pull in
contextlib2 which has backports of the full python3 contextlib.
Prior to this commit, it was possible for course authoring teams
to import and execute Mako templates using the obscure "customtag"
tag (CustomTagModule). Since Mako templates can run Python code
(e.g. imports, database queries, etc.), this would give a course
team the ability to execute arbitrary, unsandboxed code on the
server.
This commit converts CustomTagModule to use the Python library's
string.Template instead. This should be broadly compatible with
the most basic and common usage of customtag, which is simple
variable substitution in the style of ${var_name}.
Usernames containing unicode characters were
reportedly not showing up correctly in the
registration form when registered with MOE/SAML,
FB and Google.
This change fixes the issue by overriding the
django setting SOCIAL_AUTH_CLEAN_USERNAMES to
disable the default username check that wasn't
allowing non-ascii values.
The old Notes Django app is the only caller of this no longer
supported library. I have verified that this old app is no
longer functional and is already slated to be removed as part
of DEPR-18.
So this commit simply removes the call to firebase-token-generator
and leaves removal of the Notes app to DEPR-18.
