So we could be left with\r\n- py2.7 numpy=1.8 without extra dependencies\r\n- py3.5 numpy=1.10 without extra dependencies\r\n- py2.7 numpy=1.10 *32-bit* with extra dependencies\r\n(the last two could be merged into e.g. py3.5 numpy=1.10 32-bit with extra dependencies, if we're still under backlog pressure)\r\n\r\nMore extra points if someone manages to build the docs on Windows...","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2017-03-08T00:38:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":17},"url":"https://github.com/8232/matplotlib/issues/8232"}
