Is the new Chaco 6.0.0 compatible with NumPy 1.26?

[David Banas]

I'm getting the following error when attempting to build the new Chaco 6.0.0 for:

• Python 3.9
• NumPy 1.26

  chaco/plots/contour/cntr.c:35:12: fatal error: 'numpy/oldnumeric.h' file not found
     35 | #  include "numpy/oldnumeric.h"
        |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I'm wondering: do I need to back off my NumPy version?

Thanks & Happy Holidays,

If I back the NumPy version off to: 1.25, then I get a successful build.

Just submitted a pull request, which fixes this:

Now over a year later:  any chance someone could update Chaco to be compatible with NumPy 2.X?  Or is it really time to give up on Chaco and rewrite my one application that uses it to instead use Plotly or (if I have to) Matplotlib?

And David, since you have maintained a conda channel with Chaco and Enable, do you plan to create conda packages for Python 3.13?

Hi Jean-Paul,

No, I don’t support Conda builds of anything anymore.

The package that required them: PyBERT, is finally reliably Pip-installable.

I do have to maintain custom Chaco builds for Python 3.12 users, however:

https://github.com/capn-freako/PyBERT/tree/master/deps

These are necessary, even when Pip-installing PyBERT.

I’ve been told, by one of the Chaco maintainers, that an update is coming soon.

Their recent Enable update fixed the issues I was having with PyBERT installation.

So, I’m hopeful that their Chaco update will do the same.

Cheers,

Thanks David, I'm glad to hear that Chaco is not dead.  I see now a pull request from three months ago that will fix the NumPy 2.X issue (https://github.com/enthought/chaco/pull/917).
