@natea What version of of python i should use in my local virtual environment. Oldest version of the packages are blocking me to install in my local. Please let me know if you have idea.

@natea I have successfully installed smallslive in my local using python2 but the problem is i cant compile sass as the following error. The reason is deprecated version of node-sass.
ERROR - DEPRECATION WARNING: Using / for division outside of calc() is deprecated and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0 due to sass version compatibility.

@rajpaul I'm not really sure what the problem is, but I suggest asking @mprunell as he's more familiar with the codebase and setting up the local development environment.

@rajpaul I just did a quick google search for that error, and came across this comment which suggests a fix is downgrading sass to 1.32.

@natea I have successfully setup the basic site (without third party i.e. Amazon S2 , Stripe etc) in my local environment. But i cant push the code changes. It says permission denied. Please have a look.

[natea]

@rajpaul The reason you couldn't push your changes is because your group only had read access:

I've now changed your permissions, so you now have write permissions as well:

[rajpaul]

@natea I have pushed my changes to a new branch develop_2023 . Please have a look.

@rajpaul i can see that you made changes to the requirements.txt file, but it doesn't appear that you've pinned the version numbers of the 3rd party dependencies. cf3cee4

This can get you into trouble when the next time you push a deploy, Heroku pulls down a newer version of a Python package that's incompatible with the version of Django we're using. Can you please pin the versions of all the dependencies?

@natea Sorry about that i forgot to freeze the local packages in my last commit. I have now locked the requirements to requirements/local.txt . Please have a look now 8c063b2

@rajpaul is this task completed yet? Can we move it to Done?

[rajpaul]

@natea Yes we can move it to done.

[natea]

Great, thanks @rajpaul !

Can you update the Oscar and dj-stripe tasks with an update on how those are going?

[natea]

@rajpaul please move done tasks to the done column, and remember to update the other tasks as you're making progress on them.
