Re: [edx-code] Instructor task for resetting student attemps

[Ignacio Lozano]

Yeah, it sounds good to me. You're right, InstructorTasks are for high 
weight tasks.

I didn't found anything done about this improvement. It is not so critical 
but it would be interesting, I will add to our backlog

Regards.

[edx-code] lms problem after deploying XBlock into devstack

[chemseddine zaafrane]

i recently installed an XBlock named *blocktest* into Devstack but when i 
tried to run the LMS i got this error
File "/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/bin/paver", line 11, in 
sys.exit(main())
  File 
"/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paver/tasks.py"
, line 878, in main
_launch_pavement(args)
  File 
"/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paver/tasks.py"
, line 846, in _launch_pavement
exec(compile(source, environment.pavement_file, 'exec'), mod.__dict__)
  File "pavement.py", line 14, in 
from pavelib import *
  File "pavelib/__init__.py", line 4, in 
from . import assets, servers, docs, prereqs, quality, tests, js_test, 
i18n, bok_choy, acceptance_test
  File "pavelib/assets.py", line 15, in 
from watchdog.observers.polling import PollingObserver
ImportError: cannot import name PollingObserver

i couldn't find a proper answer to fix this so i decided to uninstall the 
XBlock, i checked with pip freeze and it was with the name *blocktest-xblock 
*then i uninstalled it withg the command *pip uninstall blocktest-xblock. *When 
i tried to run the lms after that, the previous error still pops out
