audit trail:

• pandas-1.0.4
• numba-0.49.1
• ipykernel-5.3.0
• pythonnet-2.5.0
• numpy-1.19 for python-3.9 only (as numba seems only numpy-1.18 ready)
• Jupyterlab-2.5.1 (Jupyterlab-3.0 branch has taken a shift per 2 month, so only looks like october)
• pythonnet-2.5.1,
• numba-0.50.1, scipy-1.5.0,
• pandas-1.0.5 (there could be a pandas-1.1 for end july)
• python-3.9.0 beta 4
• python-3.8.4rc1 and put a poka-yoke in "generate_a_winpython_distro.bat"
• for Python-3.9: GDAL-3.1.1 + rasterio-1.5.1 + Fiona-1.8.13 + shapely-1.7.0 + geopandas (missing geoviews as failing to compile cartopy)
• remove internal tricky legacy code and switch to msvc_runtime package (well, that's a GIANT shunk of legacy)
• nodejs-12.18.2
• NOT (issue unexplained) spyder-4.1.4-pre_20200705 (only PyQt5 requirement is moderated now)
• vscode-1.46.1, pythons-vscode-2020.6.91350 (less a problem with WinPython than previous version: better on ipywidgets)
• imbalanced-learn 0.7.0
• remove Voila causing issues with Jupyterlab at the moment
• numba-0.50.1 error correction for python-3.9 (entrypoints.py) ... took a long time to figure out .. ha, this is a trick numba/numba#4927
• prepare Winpython-3.9.0.1cod b1 based on Python-3.9.0b4 (missing qt stack and ML, but shall get VSCode)
• a better world for pip (before coming pip-20.3 new resolver comes into action in september 2020 pypa/pip#8513) :
  • recompile datashader-0.11.0 without the "numba<0.49" limit
  • refrain using latest jedi-0.17.2 until it's in spyder-4.x master.
  • ... spyder itself will remain an issue until they move to Qt-current
• I'm told Numba-0.50.1 is not super-friend with Cuda

build1 (july 5-6th, 2020)

• tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0rc1
• spyder-4.1.4 (patched to allow any qt)
• importlib_metadata for numba-0.51+
• cleanup: remove disthelpers.py reference in make.py
• re-add pandoc-v2.3.0 for nbconvert
• PyQt-5.15.0
• VSCode-1.47.0

• tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0rc1
• pandoc-2.3
• VSCode-1.47.2
• python-vscode-2020.7.94776 of july 15th includes yet-another big change (internalized ipykernel)
• tranquilizer-0.4.2 patched for Werkzeug-1.0.1 (ContinuumIO/tranquilizer#25)
• pandas-1.0.5
• remark: python-vscode is growing at an alarming rate.

build2 (july 19th, 2020, python-3.8 part)

• python-3.9.0 beta5 (july 20th)
• tranquilizer-0.5.0 for Werkzeug-1.0.1 (ContinuumIO/tranquilizer#25)
• python-3.8.5 (one week after python-3.8.4 due to an hotfix ?)
• spyder-4.1.4 (tweaked to remove Qt version limit)
• ipykernel-5.3.4 (qt loop improvement)
• scipy-1.5.2
• Voila , but without the jupyterlab prototypic integraton (looking back at Voila problem)
• python-vscode-2020.7.96456
• nodejs-12.18.3

build3 (july 25th, 2020)

• numpy-1.19.1 for python 3.9.5
• switch to numpy-1.19.1 for Python-3.8.5:
  • there is no more version warning in Christoph Gohlke page header,
  • numpy-1.19 is the version that removes most legacy python<3.6 (so can include asyncio, f-string, ...),
  • ... pushing the ecosystem forward, but let see: #870
• switching back to numpy-1.18.5 as Tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0rc2 has a limitation numpy<1.19 ?
• tweaks Voila on jupyterlab (remove @jupyterlab/dataregistry-extension, re-add @jupyter-voila/jupyterlab-preview)
• "check": a pure-white build (no red in the end), if I remove Tensorflow
• resolving the problem of choice and pip futur resolver:
  • tensorflow-cpu-2.3.0rc2 wants scipy-1.4.2 (vs 1.5.2) and numpy<1.19 (vs 1.19.1)..
  • tensorflow-probability-0.11.0rc1 wants cloudpickle-1.3 (vs 1.5)
  • ... or drop tensorflow stack, or try to get the constraints removed in tensorflow packages (no hope for numpy-1.19.1, I think)
    • removing Tensorflow stack brings the wheel back to 634 705 Ko (only ?)
• tensorflow_cpu-2.3.0 final (erroneous scipy-1.4.2 constraint remove in next patch release only, too late complaint)
• patch tensorflow_probability-0.12.0dev for cloudpickle-1.5.0 line (tensorflow/probability#993)
• re-reading the pip resolver, I think it's better to remove Tensorflow stack to unlock other part of Python ecosystem (https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2020/03/new-pip-resolver-to-roll-out-this-year.html)
• Pulp-2.2 for Python-3.9
• droping Tensorflow... lagging too much in dependancies or Python versions + too big
• pytorch-1.6 , annoucement that windows version is now maintained with Microsoft
• dask-ml
• drop swifter/modin, as pickle5 doesn't install on Python-3.8 jmcarpenter2/swifter#122) and new (old) modin requirement constraints makes me cry https://github.com/modin-project/modin/blob/master/requirements.txt
• pandas-1.1.0
• dask_labextension works also on windows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EX_voquHdk0)
• wasmer-0.4.2-beta.11
• dask-2.22.0 (patch for pandas-1.1)
• scikit_learn-0.23.2
• pyflux-0.4.17 for python-3.9
• PythonQwt-0.6.0 (is not dead)
• notebook-6.1.1
• numba-0.51rc (datashader wanted this for cuda numba/numba#6020)
• now building with "--use-feature=2020-resolver"
• well, Tensorflow didn't have time to manage for an ABI enforcement tweak when Numpy>=1.19 asking two parameters to be constants, see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/source/release/1.19.0-notes.rst#const-qualify-ufunc-inner-loops
• estimates:
  • Tensorflow weights 100 Mo compresssed, dropped with criterias of "now not numpy-1.19" and in the past "last one to move to python-3.8"
  • PyTorch_cpu-1.6 grew 50 Mo uncompressed (kept this turn, in hope Microsoft will soon move the fat inside Windows)
  • PyQt5 weights 100 Mo compressed
  • nodejs+typescript weights 20Mo only ??) compressed (Typescript may be added next turn)
• guidata-1.7.7, PythonQwt-0.6.1, guiqwt-3.0.3
• msvc_runtime‑14.27.29016
• VSCode-1.47.3

b4 (August 9th: PythonQwt, numba-0.51rc )

• PythonQwt-0.6.2, guidata-1.7.8, guiqwt-3.0.4
• datasette-0.46
• Matplotlib-3.3.1
• numba-0.51
• Python-3.9.0rc1
• for Python3.9: python-Levenshtein, astropy
• as a remark, python-vscode seems now as stable as jupyter notebook, just that "no sound because security" drawback
• avoid re-building 3 times jupyterlab during build,

rc (august 16th: python-3.9rc1)

postpone:

• onnxruntime ?
• the tornado patch:
  . is no more activated per WinPython (as was applied only to Tornado-6.0.3),
  . but is still applied per cgohlke wheels
  . .... to keep in mind at Tornado-6.0.4 coming upgrade with a (now ok as of July 26th ?) fix (tornadoweb/tornado#2815)
• luigi ? (if tornado>=6 in next release)

Hi @hiccup7 . I may start doing builds end June or early July.

True dream is to drop Tensorflow and Torch in favor of Winrt , Keras-onnx, opencl : use the OS internalized neural libs.
(or have them using it instead of being so big)

build1 (2020-07-05/06, infrastructure simplification, numba-0.50.1, ...)

Changes from WinPython 2020-02:

• Infrastructure:
  • moved to standard msvc_runtime wheel to handle all the MSVC problematic,
  • Python-3.8.4rc1 Python-3.9.0b4
  • semi-complete WinPython-3.9 for enthousiast testers (missing Torch, Tensorflow, Qt)
• New Packages:
  • msvc_runtime
• Upgraded Packages:
  • scipy-1.5.1,
  • for Python-3.9: numpy-1.19.0
  • remark: no upgrade to Qt-5.15 ... seems to need some polishing
• variation per version:
  • Tensorflow and Pytorch in standard branch only,
  • portable VSCode in "cod" branch only. (but you can copy the "\t\cod" directory from one to the other)
  • numpy-1.19 is only possible choice for Python-3.9, Numpy-1.18 is kept on Python-3.8 for numba ideal compatibility (to see if numba-0.51 is better on this)
  • Python-3.9 doesn't have the Qt Stack yet, but IDEL, Jupyter, VSCode shall work

Areas of particular interest for testers:

• the infrastructure change
• tensorflow-cpu-2.2.0rc3 complains it would prefer scipy-1.4.1, do you see a problem ?
• testing Python-3.9.0 beta4, hunting for bugs.

Next build effort:

• further legacy build code removal opportunity,
• Spyder-4.1.4, Jupyterlab-2.2.0, Python-3.8.4 final

build2: (2020-07-21/23: Python-3.9.0beta5)

Changes from WinPython 2020-03 build1:

Infrastructure:

• Python-3.9.0b5

build3: (2020-07-25)

Changes from WinPython 2020-03 build2:

• Infrastructure:
  • Python-3.8.5
  • full build in python-3.9.0 beta5
• New Tools:
• New Packages:
  • Voila (coming back without Jupyterlab connexion, as it creates troubles)
• Upgraded Packages:
  • scipy-1.5.2, tranquilizer-0.5.0+
• variation per version:
  • Tensorflow and Pytorch in standard branch only,
  • portable VSCode in "cod" branch only. (but you can copy the "\t\cod" directory from one to the other)
  • numpy-1.19 is only possible choice for Python-3.9, Numpy-1.18 is kept on Python-3.8 for numba ideal compatibility (to see if numba-0.51 is better on this)
  • Python-3.9 doesn't have a Qt Stack yet,

Areas of particular interest for testers:

• scipy-1.5.2,
• latest python-vscode (as Microsoft now intends to fully integrate ipykernel protocol, see Jupyterlab meetings notes of July 22nd, 2020: https://hackmd.io/Y7fBMQPSQ1C08SDGI-fwtg?both ):
  • seems ok now on start-up and widgets,
  • small GUI glitch: if you click on a previous cell while the next one is going to do output, the output seems to go on the previous cell output
  • no sound on notebook output, the baby doesn't want to cry
• full build for Python-3.9.0beta5

Next build effort for rc

• pandas-1.2.0rc1 ?
• numba-0.51 rc ??

• Spyder-5 compatible with PySide2 Q1 2020 ==> rather Q4 2020
• nodejs no longer necessary to update Jupyterlab-2 Q2 2020, ==> rather Q3 2020
• Tensorflow-2 and Pytorch get smaller, using windows ONNX infrastructure Q3 2020, ==> ?

Winpython 2019-04 (september 2019) Hopes/Wishes for coming 2020:

• Spyder-5 compatible with PySide2 Q2 2020 ==> rather Q4 2020, we postpone per 1 quarter every 2 quarters... shall be Q4
• nodejs (or webpack or npm ?) no longer necessary to update Jupyterlab-2 Q2 2020, ==> rather end Q3 2020
• Tensorflow-2 and Pytorch get smaller, using windows ONNX infrastructure Q3 2020,==> ?
• Python-3.9 hugely simplifies Asyncio (inspired per Trio) and multi-core (sub-interpreters) Q4 2020 ==> fail, it will be Python-3.10 ==> Q4 2021
• Python hit 32% on PYPL. ==> we are already at 31.7% , Coronavirus wave1 (waiting Wave 2) accelerated things.

Winpython 2020-01 (december 2019) Hopes/Wishes/Strategy for coming 2020:

• Python-3.9 simplifies Asyncio (inspired per Trio) and multi-core (sub-interpreters) Q4 2020 ==> fail, it will be Python-3.10 ==> Q4 2021

• Python hits 31% on PYPL. (will equal Java record of 30.9% in December 2007) ==> we are already at 31.7% , Coronavirus wave1 (waiting Wave 2) changed the dynamics and boosted Python tutorial search

b4 (2020-08-09/11 : guiqwt , numba-0.51rc, jupyterlab-2.2.4)

Changes from WinPython 2020-03 build3:

• Infrastructure:
• New Tools:
• Removed Packages:
  • Tensorflow-2.3.0+Keras : bad dependancies constraints not compatible with coming pip resolver, too big,

  • Python-3.9 still doesn't have a Qt Stack yet,

Areas of particular interest for testers:
