Staff Graded XBlock

pip install staff-graded-xblock

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'staff_graded_xblock' ↓

cause Trying to import the deprecated module name with underscores.

fix

Use 'from staff_graded import StaffGradedXBlock' (note: no underscore after 'staff').

error ImportError: cannot import name 'StaffGradedXBlock' from 'staff_graded_xblock' ↓

cause Incorrect import path.

fix

Use: from staff_graded import StaffGradedXBlock

Warnings

breaking v3.0.0 dropped support for Python 3.8 and replaced pkg_resources with importlib_resources. ↓

fix Upgrade to >=3.0.0 and ensure Python >=3.9.

deprecated The package name on PyPI changed from 'staff-graded-xblock' to 'staff-graded-xblock' with dashes only. The old name with underscores may still resolve but is deprecated. ↓

fix Use 'staff-graded-xblock' (all dashes) in requirements and pip commands.

gotcha This XBlock does not include a default student view; it relies on the Open edX platform to render grading UI. ↓

fix Ensure you have the proper platform integration and Studio configuration.
