Hi All,

Here are some proposals for the NumPy 1.22.0 release currently in development.

  1. Drop support for Python 3.7 (3.10 will be available).
NEP 29 says December 2021, so that'd be kind of borderline. It would allow us to use positional-only parameters, which would be quite useful.
  1. Drop manylinux1 wheels.
  2. Drop manylinux2010 wheels?
yes, and yes
  1. Use ILP64 BLAS for 64 bit wheels.
Seems fine I guess. Is there a lot of demand?

Also something I'm not sure about is if we can mix two versions (one ILP64, one regular) of OpenBLAS in a numpy and a scipy wheel, and load them both. It seems to work, but perhaps that's accidental today?

Cheers,
Ralf
 
Thoughts?
