Rationale

We've added support for Python 3.12

Description

We'll be dropping support for running with 3.11 and dependencies will be built to be 3.12 compatible so may no longer work with 3.11

@feanil Is there anything I can help with here?

[feanil]

@UsamaSadiq no, just wanted to make sure folks running off of master are prepared for it to only work with Python 3.12 (tutor-nightly and MIT).

I'll merge this at the end of the week unless they need more time.

[blarghmatey]

Thanks for the heads up. We're already on 3.12 for our deployment from master, so fire away.

[feanil]

Looks like tutor main is also set! https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/blob/main/tutor/templates/build/openedx/Dockerfile so I think this is actually unblocked now. Gonna update the date and land the change to openedx-platform master.
