Thank for the PR! Could you please add a changelog entry?
edx-platform is running and testing with Python 3.12 and Node 24 now so update the dockerfile to match that.

We may need to update the pyenv version here, after this change, I'm getting an error when trying to build from scratch, it says that version 3.12.12 was not found (sorry I lost the logs with the exact errors, I'm currently building with the previous commit)

FYI, an update to Pyenv was also merged as a part of this but atleast the node version part of this change should get backported to the release because Ulmo is meant to run with Node 24
Python 3.12 is less fully tested with ulmo so it should not be backported.

Looks like we will have to revert this change altogether. After updating the pyenv version I got the following error:

@ahmed-arb can you provide the command you ran that caused this error? I was able to build with python 3.12 for my dev environment without any issue.

So I ran these commands locally with python 3.12 and the latest edx-platform and they do work just fine and I've re-built my tutor dev images and they also built just fine so I think the issue may be elsewhere. If you ran into this locally, did you have an out of date version of edx-platform mounted possibly?

I tried building openedx image with ulmo.1 and ran into this with Pyenv 2.6.20. I checked ulmo.1 is using the deprecated version of boto, while master is using boto3, which (in your case) might have worked with Python 3.12. We should target tutor main with this PR.

Gotcha, makes sense so Python 3.12 for tutor main and leave python 3.11 for release until Verawood
