Hi
It seems (at least in scipy/1.10.1-6), that python3-pythran was a
build-dependency for all architectures [1], yet, on armhf,
python3-scipy did not have a runtime dependency on python3-pythran
[2].
The build log of scipy/1.10.1-6 on armhf [3], confirms:
Building scipy with SCIPY_USE_PYTHRAN=1
I do not recall seeing any bug reports or autopkgtest failures due to
this.
Is it possible that scipy can be built with Pythran support, and
python3-pythran can be an optional dependency at runtime?
If this is true, then we can downgrade python3-pythran from a Depends
to a Recommends.
A good question. We can look into this and check.
