macOS minimum version and scipy.fft
Hello All, Does anyone know what the minimum macOS version is that SciPy currently targets? And are there any objections to raising this to 10.9? The context for this is that in gh-10383<https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/10383> I am using uarray<https://uarray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html> to add backend support to scipy.fft. uarray was recently rewritten in C++ and uses the thread_local keyword to support context-local backends. It's this single language feature that limits the version as older AppleClang versions didn't implement it. It can be worked around if support is an issue though. - Peter

I got lucky, a 10.8 user just found the issue I couldn't remember by commenting that numpy 1.16 didn't work anymore on <10.9. This happened when NumPy (and SciPy) dropped Accelerate support: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/12939#issuecomment-461006715 Cheers, Ralf The context for this is that in gh-10383
