Python Upgrade: https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/234
Why this is a blocker: Python 3.8 is due to reach its scheduled upstream end-of-life in October 2024 and would no longer receive security updates.
Status as of April 11:
Credentials, course discovery, edx platform - PRs in progress
Some unknowns with edx platform and credentials - in discovery
Ecommerce and enterprise - no PRs in progress

Contingencies - python upgrades are blocking tutor upgrades and Tutor MFE plugins
For reference, this is main issue tracking Python 312 upgrades for tutor (for those interested) https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/issues/1004
UPDATE April 25:
Need reviewers for Credentials PR and course discovery

UPDATE April 25: Fix is identified, merged!

Plugins must work with tutor: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/issues/199
Why this is a blocker: If plugins don’t work with Tutor, that negates the whole prototype approach to launching Redwood with plugin slots and would impact at least 3 ongoing projects
Status as of April 11: Still in discovery, partially contingent on engaging with 2U stakeholders
