[Drew Parsons]

Source: python-skbio

Severity: normal

python-skbio is failing tests with scipy 1.17, currently
available in experimental.

The error appears to be use of a deprecated API:

794s E               ValueError: Unknown Distance Metric: sokalmichener


python-skbio 0.7 has been released, does it fix the problem?
