Hi all,
For working on SciPy, I proposed a new unified CLI at
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/15489. Most of that is implemented
now in https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/15959. It looks like a major
upgrade from runtests.py and dev.py. The plan is to merge it soon with
experimental status subject to change, no docs yet) and once it's seen
wider use for 1-2 months by maintainers and active contributors, add docs
and declare it stable.
Please have a look at the PR if this seems interesting. I plan to merge it
relatively soon.
Cheers,
Ralf
Dear all,
As discussed in [1] and elsewhere extensively for the past roadblocks we
have encountered, it finally seems like we can bump the minimum required
LAPACK/BLAS version to 3.7.1. A preliminary search over the major Linux
distros show that CentOS 7 and OpenSUSE Leap are the only ones that doesn't
come with the liblapack with version number lower than 3.7.1. Windows and
OSX can already use whichever version they need.
However this doesn't mean that these systems are not going to be supported.
For building SciPy you would need OpenBLAS/MKL anyways and those are
independent from the system-wide liblapack machinery. Thus it doesn't seem
like a roadblock. Many SciPy users who install pip or conda way don't even
notice this but I would like to probe for a reason which this bump might
cause an issue in some edge-case system.
In turn this will finally allow us to get rid of past version issues and to
get rid of certain legacy code.
Please share your thoughts,
Best,
ilhan
