Bug#821221: RM: python-scientific -- RoQA; RC buggy, inactive upstream

[Bas Couwenberg]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Control: block -1 by 821214 821215 821216 821217 821219

Please remove python-scientific from Debian unstable.

python-scientific is incompatible with numpy 1.9 and hasn't seen any
upstream activity since 2014.

python-scientific is keeping the old netcdf (1:4.1.3-7.2) in unstable
which is causing testing migration problems for every new revising since
the transition in October 2015.

Kind Regards,

Bas
