Scipy regression with anaconda progression?

[mforbes]

Why is the scipy version regressing with advancing anaconda packages?

• anaconda2020 has python 3.7.8 and scipy 1.7.3
• anaconda2021 has python 3.9.7 but scipy 1.7.1,
• anaconda2022 (in the Ubuntu 22.04 environment) has python 3.9.15 but scipy 1.5.3!

I was looking for something with scipy >= 1.8 (which brought in scipy.sparse.lil_array) or 1.10 which has been released. (anaconda2023?)

The pedantic answer has certainly something to do with the package resolver. I'll try to figure out if there is a blocking dependency.

Oh, so you might be forced to remove some packages, since they are forcing back the scipy version? Makes sense.

@mforbes finally had time to look into this. If you're curious, it's due to a pycaret dependency. Not sure why … made a note #6391 and sure, I'll see how much can be updated without that dragging everything back into the past.
