This document is an attempt to list out all the Jira tickets that are blocked due to various reasons under the epics that Arbi BOM is currently working on.

Python 3.8

https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-1521

	Jira Ticket	Reason for blocker
1	https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-1639	Once the Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade is done, we’ll re-evaluate this and see if any work still needs to be done on it. Leaving it blocked until then.
2	https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2033	Relevant PR: https://github.com/edx/registrar/pull/354 waiting for a response from the owning team
3	https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2177	Codejail environments creation still uses `Python 3.5` due to which the constraint can not be removed yet. The https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2196?focusedCommentId=523005&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-523005 issue is currently in progress to upgrade the codejail environment to use `Python3.8` instead. Once the PR https://github.com/edx/codejail/pull/111 is merged, we can then remove the constraint from edx-platform and also update the sandbox configurations to run using `Python 3.8`.

Drop Python 35

https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2227

	Jira Ticket	Reason for blocker
1	https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2196	“We should hold off on merging this until we've finished upgrading the production codejails to 3.8. We already tested 3.8 compatibility via `tox` in Jenkins, and we don't want to preclude bug and security fixes to this package before that upgrade is complete.”
2	https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-1983	Blocked until https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2033 is completed.
3	https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2254	Given that https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-1639 is still unresolved, we probably shouldn't try merging this until the Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade is complete.
