There are a couple of hacks left to support numpy 1.6 (`category.py`, `tests/test_category.py`, `cbook.py` (putmask vs copyto), possibly(?) `colors.py`), and 1.7 also introduced the ability to pass a tuple as the `axis` kwarg to reducing ufuncs.\r\n\r\nnumpy 1.7.0 was released in Feb. 2013 (3y 9m ago).  As a comparison, the minimal version of numpy was bumped to 1.6.0 in Jul. 2014 (#3229), 3y 2m after its release (May 2011) (and was effective with the release of mpl1.4.0 in Aug. 2014).\r\n\r\nEdit: I misread the release notes of 1.7.0 -- turns out that what it added was the ability to pass *multiple* axes as a tuple to reducing ufuncs; passing a single axis was supported since long ago (and that was one of my bigger reasons).  So the issue is less pressing on my side at least.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2016-11-03T09:23:45.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":25},"url":"https://github.com/7396/matplotlib/issues/7396"}
