scipy: Scientific tools for Python#

Description#

SciPy (pronounced “Sigh Pie”) is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world’s leading scientists and engineers.

Version Information#

package-version.txt:

1.9.3

install-requires.txt:

# 1.8 is known good version.
# Per https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/dev/core-dev/index.html#version-numbering
# and https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/dev/core-dev/index.html#deprecations,
# deprecations cannot be introduced in micro releases.
# SciPy devs wait "at least 6 months", "in practice two (minor) releases"
# from deprecation to removal of a feature.

Equivalent System Packages#

conda:

$ conda install  scipy

homebrew:

$ brew install scipy

macports: install the following packages: py-scipy

opensuse:

$ sudo zypper install python3-scipy

void:

$ sudo xbps-install  python3-scipy

See https://repology.org/project/python:scipy/versions

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because using Python site-packages is not supported by the Sage distribution; see trac ticket #29023
