We are currently running this plugin from a has directly off of master
to get support for a newer version of DJDT. However even on master
there is not yet support for python 3. We're running into this when
running runserver and when collecting static assets.
A quick survey of the development team at edX shows that people are no
longer actively using this debug panel.(14 responders all saying no to
the question "In the last year have you used the mongo portion of the
django-debug-toolbar in edx-platform?")
This makes sense since the module store and courseware related
developement is not very active right now. Given all this, I'm removing
this toolbar for now and if we need it again we can survey what's
available at that time to choose the best tool.
ENABLE_MKTG_SITE has been serving double duty to both indicate that
an Open edX installation is using a Drupal marketing site AND
is using the Publisher workflow tool for managing course metadata.
But now that publisher-frontend is available and the Publisher
feature is no longer tied to the marketing site, we want to tease
apart those two concerns. Hence ENABLE_PUBLISHER.
Only really used so far in Studio, to control which fields are
shown (if using Publisher, some fields are only editable in
Publisher).
- The fields need to be unicode not bytes. In python 2 it was auto
converting.
- The static url base has been allowed to be a unicode string for a
while.

This introduces:
* A new XBlock runtime that can read and write XBlocks that are persisted using
Blockstore instead of Modulestore. The new runtime is currently isolated so
that it can be tested without risk to the current courseware/runtime.
* Content Libraries v2, which store XBlocks in Blockstore not modulestore
* An API Client for Blockstore
* "Learning Context" plugin API. A learning context is a more abstract concept
than a course; it's a collection of XBlocks that serves some learning purpose.
