Nathaniel Smith added the comment: @Arek: It's great that you're testing your code against the latest 3.7 pre-release, because that helps give early warning of issues in CPython as its developed, which helps everyone. BUT, you really cannot expect to use in-development versions and expect everything to be perfectly supported and work well together all the time -- we need time and space to work things out and coordinate. If you can't tolerate failures in your 3.7-prerelease builds, then you should remove them from you CI entirely and wait for the final release (or at least sometime in the beta/rc period).
Anyway- Numpy bug here: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/9227 This CPython PR is also relevant: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1236 Basically the bug is that numpy just made a release (1.13.0) which assumed that if it's running on some version of 3.7, then that PR is surely merged. But it turns out that that PR is not yet merged. We'll probably need to make the usual emergency x.x.1 release in a few days anyway, and the simplest fix would be to switch back to the underscore-prefixed versions then. But... this needs a bit of coordination, because if we do that then the same thing will happen again at some point when that PR is merged; the problem here is that numpy was trying to avoid that breakage and thus created different breakage :-). My suggestion would be that NumPy go ahead with releasing a fixed version ASAP, and *also* that CPython PR 1236 add back-compat for the underscore-prefixed versions. And maybe that it be merged soon if it's easy and going to happen anyway, since that will retroactively unbreak 1.13.0. Bigger picture: I guess there's some irony that I warned that testing against prereleases can get complicated at the language summit based on numpy's experience, and now it's numpy's fault that cpython is getting grumpy users filing bugs at it... sorry about that. It's a useful data point though that we should keep in mind, that if we're encouraging people to test prereleases, then what used to be a temporary breakage that no-one would notice can actually cause more problems now – again, if numpy hadn't broken this now, PR 1236 would have at some point, and with the same results. (In the past it's been common that numpy just doesn't support a new python release until a month or two after it comes out! Apparently those days have passed...) ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon, haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30623> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
