[Python-modules-team] Bug#736185: python-scipy: filtfilt() not working in wheezy

[Michael Hanke]

Package: python-scipy
Version: 0.10.1+dfsg2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

The filtfilt() function in the signal module is not working in wheezy due to a
missing axis keyword argument.

Here is the upstream bug:

https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/2145

Here is the fix:

https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/181/files

The problem was fixed upstream in 0.11 and is, consequently, not present
in jessie and beyond.

It would be great to get this updated in stable. filtfilt() is often used
in tutorials and having it fail probably turns a lot of hair gray.

Thanks!
