• pandas-1.0.4
• numba-0.49.1
• ipykernel-5.3.0
• pythonnet-2.5.0
• numpy-1.19 for python-3.9 only (as numba seems only numpy-1.18 ready)
• Jupyterlab-2.5.1 (Jupyterlab-3.0 branch has taken a shift per 2 month, so only looks like october)
• pythonnet-2.5.1,
• numba-0.50.1, scipy-1.5.0,
• pandas-1.0.5 (there could be a pandas-1.1 for end july)
• python-3.9.0 beta 4
• python-3.8.4rc1 and put a poka-yoke in "generate_a_winpython_distro.bat"
• for Python-3.9: GDAL-3.1.1 + rasterio-1.5.1 + Fiona-1.8.13 + shapely-1.7.0 + geopandas (missing geoviews as failing to compile cartopy)
• remove internal tricky legacy code and switch to msvc_runtime package (well, that's a GIANT shunk of legacy)
• nodejs-12.18.2
• NOT (issue unexplained) spyder-4.1.4-pre_20200705 (only PyQt5 requirement is moderated now)
• vscode-1.46.1, pythons-vscode-2020.6.91350 (less a problem with WinPython than previous version: better on ipywidgets)
• imbalanced-learn 0.7.0
• remove Voila causing issues with Jupyterlab at the moment
• numba-0.50.1 error correction for python-3.9 (entrypoints.py) ... took a long time to figure out .. ha, this is a trick numba/numba#4927
• prepare Winpython-3.9.0.1cod b1 based on Python-3.9.0b4 (missing qt stack and ML, but shall get VSCode)
• a better world for pip (before coming pip-20.3 new resolver comes into action in september 2020 pypa/pip#8513) :
  • recompile datashader-0.11.0 without the "numba<0.49" limit
  • refrain using latest jedi-0.17.2 until it's in spyder-4.x master.
  • ... spyder itself will remain an issue until they move to Qt-current
• I'm told Numba-0.50.1 is not super-friend with Cuda

build1 (july 5-6th, 2020)

• tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0rc1
• spyder-4.1.4 (patched to allow any qt)

• pandas-1.0.5
• remark: python-vscode is growing at an alarming rate.

build2 (july 19th, 2020, python-3.8 part)

• python-3.9.0 beta5 (july 20th)
• tranquilizer-0.5.0 for Werkzeug-1.0.1 (ContinuumIO/tranquilizer#25)
• python-3.8.5 (one week after python-3.8.4 due to an hotfix ?)
• spyder-4.1.4 (tweaked to remove Qt version limit)
• ipykernel-5.3.4 (qt loop improvement)
• scipy-1.5.2
• Voila , but without the jupyterlab prototypic integraton (looking back at Voila problem)
• python-vscode-2020.7.96456
• nodejs-12.18.3

build3 (july 25th, 2020)

• numpy-1.19.1 for python 3.9.5
• switch to numpy-1.19.1 for Python-3.8.5:
  • there is no more version warning in Christoph Gohlke page header,
  • numpy-1.19 is the version that removes most legacy python<3.6 (so can include asyncio, f-string, ...),
  • ... pushing the ecosystem forward, but let see: #870
• switching back to numpy-1.18.5 as Tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0rc2 has a limitation numpy<1.19 ?
• tweaks Voila on jupyterlab (remove @jupyterlab/dataregistry-extension, re-add @jupyter-voila/jupyterlab-preview)
• "check": a pure-white build (no red in the end), if I remove Tensorflow
• resolving the problem of choice and pip futur resolver:
  • tensorflow-cpu-2.3.0rc2 wants scipy-1.4.2 (vs 1.5.2) and numpy<1.19 (vs 1.19.1)..
  • tensorflow-probability-0.11.0rc1 wants cloudpickle-1.3 (vs 1.5)
  • ... or drop tensorflow stack, or try to get the constraints removed in tensorflow packages (no hope for numpy-1.19.1, I think)
    • removing Tensorflow stack brings the wheel back to 634 705 Ko (only ?)
• tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0 final (erroneous scipy-1.4.2 constraint remove in next patch release only, too late complaint)
• patch tensorflow_probability-0.12.0dev for cloudpickle-1.5.0 line (tensorflow/probability#993)
• re-reading the pip resolver, I think it's better to remove Tensorflow stack to unlock other part of Python ecosystem (https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2020/03/new-pip-resolver-to-roll-out-this-year.html)
• Pulp-2.2 for Python-3.9
• droping Tensorflow... lagging too much in dependancies or Python versions + too big
• pytorch-1.6 , annoucement that windows version is now maintained with Microsoft
• dask-ml
• drop swifter/modin, as pickle5 doesn't install on Python-3.8 jmcarpenter2/swifter#122) and new (old) modin requirement constraints makes me cry https://github.com/modin-project/modin/blob/master/requirements.txt
• pandas-1.1.0

• PythonQwt-0.6.0 (is not dead)
• notebook-6.1.1
• numba-0.51rc (datashader wanted this for cuda numba/numba#6020)
• now building with "--use-feature=2020-resolver"
• well, Tensorflow didn't have time to manage for an ABI enforcement tweak when Numpy>=1.19 asking two parameters to be constants, see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/source/release/1.19.0-notes.rst#const-qualify-ufunc-inner-loops
• estimates:
  • Tensorflow weights 100 Mo compresssed, dropped with criterias of "now not numpy-1.19" and in the past "last one to move to python-3.8"
  • PyTorch_cpu-1.6 grew 50 Mo uncompressed (kept this turn, in hope Microsoft will soon move the fat inside Windows)
  • PyQt5 weights 100 Mo compressed
  • nodejs+typescript weights 20Mo only ??) compressed (Typescript may be added next turn)
• guidata-1.7.7, PythonQwt-0.6.1, guiqwt-3.0.3

• datasette-0.46
• Matplotlib-3.3.1

• Python-3.9.0rc1
• for Python3.9: python-Levenshtein, astropy
• as a remark, python-vscode seems now as stable as jupyter notebook, just that "no sound because security" drawback
• avoid re-building 3 times jupyterlab during build,

rc (august 16th: python-3.9rc1)

postpone:

• onnxruntime ?
• the tornado patch:
  . is no more activated per WinPython (as was applied only to Tornado-6.0.3),
  . but is still applied per cgohlke wheels
  . .... to keep in mind at Tornado-6.0.4 coming upgrade with a (now ok as of July 26th ?) fix (tornadoweb/tornado#2815)
• luigi ? (if tornado>=6 in next release)

numba-0.50.0 adds support for numpy 1.18 (included in WinPython release 2020-02).
See https://github.com/numba/numba/blob/master/CHANGE_LOG
numba-0.50.1 was released 24 June, and should soon be available at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numba

Hi @hiccup7 . I may start doing builds end June or early July.

Please don't drop TensorFlow or PyTorch.
I think size doesn't matter at the moment.

Also there is issue with the Numpy package in the previous release - #819 (comment).

True dream is to drop Tensorflow and Torch in favor of Winrt , Keras-onnx, opencl : use the OS internalized neural libs.
(or have them using it instead of being so big)

Then it means it won't be usable at all.
The system libraries won't be able to keep the pace of new developments.
Hence anything using it will be basic and useless in research.

It is better to stick to them.
I would even add MXNet.

build1 (2020-07-05/06, infrastructure simplification, numba-0.50.1, ...)

Changes from WinPython 2020-02:

• Infrastructure:
  • moved to standard msvc_runtime wheel to handle all the MSVC problematic,
  • Python-3.8.4rc1 Python-3.9.0b4
  • semi-complete WinPython-3.9 for enthousiast testers (missing Torch, Tensorflow, Qt)
• New Packages:
  • msvc_runtime
• Upgraded Packages:
  • scipy-1.5.1,
  • for Python-3.9: numpy-1.19.0
  • remark: no upgrade to Qt-5.15 ... seems to need some polishing
• variation per version:
  • Tensorflow and Pytorch in standard branch only,
  • portable VSCode in "cod" branch only. (but you can copy the "\t\cod" directory from one to the other)
  • numpy-1.19 is only possible choice for Python-3.9, Numpy-1.18 is kept on Python-3.8 for numba ideal compatibility (to see if numba-0.51 is better on this)
  • Python-3.9 doesn't have the Qt Stack yet, but IDEL, Jupyter, VSCode shall work

Areas of particular interest for testers:

• the infrastructure change
• tensorflow-cpu-2.2.0rc3 complains it would prefer scipy-1.4.1, do you see a problem ?
• testing Python-3.9.0 beta4, hunting for bugs.

Next build effort:

• further legacy build code removal opportunity,
• Spyder-4.1.4, Jupyterlab-2.2.0, Python-3.8.4 final

build2: (2020-07-21/23: Python-3.9.0beta5)

Changes from WinPython 2020-03 build1:

Infrastructure:

• Python-3.9.0b5

build3: (2020-07-25)

Changes from WinPython 2020-03 build2:

• Infrastructure:
  • Python-3.8.5
  • full build in python-3.9.0 beta5
• New Tools:
• New Packages:
  • Voila (coming back without Jupyterlab connexion, as it creates troubles)
• Upgraded Packages:
  • scipy-1.5.2, tranquilizer-0.5.0+
• variation per version:
  • Tensorflow and Pytorch in standard branch only,
  • portable VSCode in "cod" branch only. (but you can copy the "\t\cod" directory from one to the other)
  • numpy-1.19 is only possible choice for Python-3.9, Numpy-1.18 is kept on Python-3.8 for numba ideal compatibility (to see if numba-0.51 is better on this)
  • Python-3.9 doesn't have a Qt Stack yet,

Areas of particular interest for testers:

• scipy-1.5.2,
• latest python-vscode (as Microsoft now intends to fully integrate ipykernel protocol, see Jupyterlab meetings notes of July 22nd, 2020: https://hackmd.io/Y7fBMQPSQ1C08SDGI-fwtg?both ):
  • seems ok now on start-up and widgets,
  • small GUI glitch: if you click on a previous cell while the next one is going to do output, the output seems to go on the previous cell output
  • no sound on notebook output, the baby doesn't want to cry
• full build for Python-3.9.0beta5

Next build effort for rc

• pandas-1.2.0rc1 ?
• numba-0.51 rc ??

looking at my Cristal ball:

Winpython 2019-03 (jujy 2019) hopes for coming 2020:

• Spyder-5 compatible with PySide2 Q1 2020 ==> rather Q4 2020
• nodejs no longer necessary to update Jupyterlab-2 Q2 2020, ==> rather Q3 2020
• Tensorflow-2 and Pytorch get smaller, using windows ONNX infrastructure Q3 2020, ==> ?
• Python-3.9 hugely simplify Asyncio and multi-core Q4 2020 ==> fail, it will be Python-3.10 ==> Q4 2021

Winpython 2019-04 (september 2019) Hopes/Wishes for coming 2020:

• Spyder-5 compatible with PySide2 Q2 2020 ==> rather Q4 2020, we postpone per 1 quarter every 2 quarters... shall be Q4
• nodejs (or webpack or npm ?) no longer necessary to update Jupyterlab-2 Q2 2020, ==> rather end Q3 2020
• Tensorflow-2 and Pytorch get smaller, using windows ONNX infrastructure Q3 2020,==> ?
• Python-3.9 hugely simplifies Asyncio (inspired per Trio) and multi-core (sub-interpreters) Q4 2020 ==> fail, it will be Python-3.10 ==> Q4 2021
• Python hit 32% on PYPL. ==> we are already at 31.7% , Coronavirus wave1 (waiting Wave 2) accelerated things.

Winpython 2020-01 (december 2019) Hopes/Wishes/Strategy for coming 2020:

• Python-3.9 simplifies Asyncio (inspired per Trio) and multi-core (sub-interpreters) Q4 2020 ==> fail, it will be Python-3.10 ==> Q4 2021

• Python hits 31% on PYPL. (will equal Java record of 30.9% in December 2007) ==> we are already at 31.7% , Coronavirus wave1 (waiting Wave 2) changed the dynamics and boosted Python tutorial search

b4 (2020-08-09/11 : guiqwt , numba-0.51rc, jupyterlab-2.2.4)

Changes from WinPython 2020-03 build3:

• Infrastructure:
• New Tools:
• Removed Packages:
  • Tensorflow-2.3.0+Keras : bad dependancies constraints not compatible with coming pip resolver, too big,

  • numpy-1.19.1/numba-0.511rc is still kept on Python-3.8 (so not Tensorflow-2.3.0 compatible)
  • Python-3.9 still doesn't have a Qt Stack yet,

Areas of particular interest for testers:
