NumPy2
Summary
Update the numpy package from 1.x to 2.x (1.26.4 to 2.1.3 currently).

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora Linux 42
- Last updated: 2024-12-16
- Announced
- Discussion thread
- FESCo issue: #3295
- Tracker bug: #2332647
- Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
Updating numpy from the 1.x to 2.x series will Just Work for some packages. Those using the C API will need to be rebuilt. Additionally, many packages are pinned to numpy < 2, and these will need to be loosened.
Feedback
I've experimented with this in copr, as well as tracked updates to a few packages in preparation for this. One example is scipy, which was recently updated to a version supporting numpy2, and this will reduce the number of impacted packages.
Benefit to Fedora
In addition to tracking upstream and receiving more up-to-date fixes and security updates, numpy2 brings many improvements to the library:

https://blog.scientific-python.org/numpy/numpy2/
Scope
- Proposal owners:
Update numpy2 package to 2.1.x in f43 immediately after f42 mass branching. Help rebuild and patch impacted packages as needed.
- Other developers:
Rebuild and patch impacted packages. Most will only require a pin adjustment and/or rebuild.
- Release engineering: #Releng issue number
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Successfully rebuilt packages should not have any compatibility issues.
Early Testing (Optional)
Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? Y/N
How To Test
Run applications that use numpy or one of it's dependencies.
User Experience
End users should not notice any changes. Python developers will need to rebuild C API code against numpy2, and can then take advantage of new features.

Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Depending on scope of packages not fixed, Gwyn will either help fix those packages, or create a compat package and patch packages to use that.
- Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze
- Blocks release? No
