SpacePy

Please see the full release notes at https://spacepy.github.io/release_notes.html Binary wheels are now provided for Linux on 64-bit ARM, intended for Raspberry Pi. There are no changes to dependencies, minimum versions, or installation process with this release. New Features help now supports searching the documentation. Dependency requirements Numpy 2.0 is now fully supported. Numpy and f2py are no longer required to build SpacePy. Binary wheels are no longer tied to numpy or Python version. Sphinx 4.0 is now required to build the documentation; this is not a concern for most users. Support for Python 3.6 has been removed due to inability to test. Python 3.7 is the oldest supported Python; as a result, Astropy 2.0 is the oldest supported Astropy (if using Astropy). Deprecations and removals toolbox.timeout_check_call is deprecated as redundant to using subprocess.check_call with the timeout argument. The irbempy.irbempylib module has been removed. This was the old internal interface to the IRBEM library and was not intended for public use. The data_assimilation, radbelt, and spacepy_EnKF modules have been moved to the "sandbox". These modules were undertested and minimally documented. Major bugfixes irbempy.find_Bmirror now correctly returns one Bmirr per input pitch angle instead of ignoring all but the first. Other changes Operations on dmarray which return a scalar value will now return a numpy array scalar rather than the base Python type. This is consistent with the behavior of numpy.ndarray. dmarray also supports assigning to its dtype and shape. Together these changes should make dmarray a much closer drop-in replacement for numpy.ndarray. Warnings issued by SpacePy are now associated with the line of the calling code, not with the SpacePy code itself.
