[Python-modules-team] Bug#980317: python-sparse is out of date and is using the wrong upstream location

[Diane Trout]

Source: python-sparse
Version: 0.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

While I was updating dask I encountered unit test failures because dask was
assuming there was a SparseArray class in python-sparse.

(Here's an example stack trace)

E   AttributeError: module 'sparse' has no attribute 'SparseArray'

I asked the dask upstream https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/7078 and they
said the proper upstream for python-sparse is https://github.com/pydata/sparse
and it should be currently be version 0.11.2

The sparse package should probably be updated

Thanks,
Diane Trout
