Dear all,
The NumPy project released version 2 more than a year ago, but we still have version 1.26.4 in MacPorts. All actively developed packages that depend on NumPy have by now updated their code so that it is compatible with NumPy v2 and thus I think it’s time to go ahead and push the update. I have tested many of the dependencies to verify that they work, but surely there will be ports that are untested and/or are not compatible. I have opened a PR (https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29338) with updates to packages and/or rebuilds that are required to get things to work. I invite anyone to test the PR with the NumPy update and verify that your favorite Python package still works. If a rebuild is needed and/or things don’t work, feel free to report this in the PR linked above so we can see whether this can be fixed. I intend to merge the PR in two weeks time at the end of September. Best, Renee
