"""
Create a closure around the system environment.
static_url - the base URL to static assets
ajax_url - the url where ajax calls to the encapsulating module go.
track_function - function of (event_type, event), intended for logging
or otherwise tracking the event.
TODO: Not used, and has inconsistent args in different
files. Update or remove.
get_module - function that takes a descriptor and returns a corresponding
module instance object. If the current user does not have
access to that location, returns None.
render_template - a function that takes (template_file, context), and
returns rendered html.
user - The user to base the random number generator seed off of for this
request
filestore - A filestore ojbect. Defaults to an instance of OSFS based
at settings.DATA_DIR.
xqueue - Dict containing XqueueInterface object, as well as parameters
for the specific StudentModule:
xqueue = {'interface': XQueueInterface object,
'callback_url': Callback into the LMS,
'queue_name': Target queuename in Xqueue}
replace_urls - TEMPORARY - A function like static_replace.replace_urls
that capa_module can use to fix up the static urls in
ajax results.
anonymous_student_id - Used for tracking modules with student id
course_id - the course_id containing this module
publish(event) - A function that allows XModules to publish events (such as grade changes)
cache - A cache object with two methods:
.get(key) returns an object from the cache or None.
.set(key, value, timeout_secs=None) stores a value in the cache with a timeout.
can_execute_unsafe_code - A function returning a boolean, whether or
not to allow the execution of unsafe, unsandboxed code.
error_descriptor_class - The class to use to render XModules with errors
