Bug#902553: new version (2.8.0) is out and heals the annoying warning msg

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-h5py
Version: 2.7.1-2
Severity: normal

one of the annoyances of h5py in Debian now is that a bare import leads to

$> python -c 'import h5py'
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/h5py/__init__.py:36: FutureWarning: Conversion of the second argument of issubdtype from `float` to `np.floating` is deprecated. In future, it will be treated as `np.float64 == np.dtype(float).type`.
  from ._conv import register_converters as _register_converters

making into output of cmdline helpers etc... 2.8.0 seems to have no such issue:

(git)hopa:~/proj/misc/h5py[tags/2.8.0^0]
$> python -c 'import h5py'   

That is why marking it as normal bug instead of a mere wishlist


Watchout for:

- there is no changelog for 2.8.x: https://github.com/h5py/h5py/issues/1064
- somewhat changed behavior: https://github.com/h5py/h5py/issues/1063
  (this affects python-mvpa2 -- will need to fixup for it now upstream for now,
  may be there is more)

Cheers and thanks in advance
