Unpin several more outdated dependencies whose changelogs don't contain any significant backwards incompatible changes. Also add "moto" to the list of packages to uninstall from existing environments, since it requires a jsondiff version that clashes with the one we now use (triggering a harmless but distracting warning on dependency updates). We can potentially stop using path.py/path altogether by switching to pathlib in the Python 3 standard library, but that merits a separate PR of its own. Also, note that I'm not actually unpinning freezegun; different PRs restricted it in both constraints.txt and test.in, I'm just removing the latter redundant constraint.
This is the core repository of the Open edX software. It includes the LMS
(student-facing, delivering courseware), and Studio (course authoring)
components.
Installation
------------
Installing and running an Open edX instance is not simple. We strongly
recommend that you use a service provider to run the software for you. They
have free trials that make it easy to get started:
https://openedx.org/get-started/
If you will be modifying edx-platform code, the `Open edX Developer Stack`_ is
a Docker-based development environment.
If you want to run your own Open edX server and have the technical skills to do
so, `Open edX Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit Installation`_ has instructions to install
it on an existing Ubuntu 16.04 server.
