BLD: build is currently broken on Python 3.8

Question

Closed this issue a year ago · 4 comments

#415 broke test jobs on Python 3.8 (numpy 1.25 requires Python 3.9 or newer). There are two possible approaches to fix this:

use oldest-supported-numpy on Python 3.8 instead (keep using numpy>1.25 for other versions)
drop support for Python 3.8

I'm happy to do the work either way, just please let me know what's preferred here! Ping @astrofrog

We should just drop 3.8 in line with NEP29

Answer 2 · 2023-12-07T16:08:05.000Z

This is already done in #411
