Update SciPy on frdev1001
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We have the SciPy library installed for python2 on frdev1001, but it's quite an old version (0.14.0) which has bugs in some of the statistical functions we use. Is it possible to update this? The latest version is v1.2.0, but anything above v1.0.0 should be fine.

Event Timeline

@Pcoombe unfortunately the available versions on Jessie (current OS) and Stretch (upcoming OS) are both old (0.14 and 0.18 respectively). Buster (2 OS versions out) has 1.0 but that's a ways off. So we'd want to look at packaging it ourselves which is doable, unless someone around here (analytics?) has already done that which would be easier.

Actually looking into it v0.18.0 does fix the main bug which affects us (in the Mann-Whitney statistical test). So that would be great if an update to Stretch is planned soon anyway?

@Pcoombe yes indeed, I made a subtask for that for tracking and to remind myself.

Pcoombe claimed this task.

Looks like the version is 0.18.1 now which is fine. Thanks!
