Hello,

I am not sure if I can join the call tomorrow, but I'd like to say something about kuibit and the new release.

TLDR: I released a bugfix update to kuibit, I would like to release a second update to cleanup dependencies but this is currently blocked by another python package. This second update would only affect kuibit developers, so it is not a big deal if I cannot release the new version in time.

Longer info:

I recently released kuibit 1.3.4 (the previous ET release was using 1.3.3). This is a bug fix release with nothing tremendously interesting going on. Ideally, I would like to release a second tiny update for the new ET release. This update would only improve compatibility with Python 3.10. At the moment, you can install and use kuibit with Python 3.10, but if you want to develop it, there are some extra difficulties. The core of the problem is that VTK has not distributed wheels for Python 3.10 yet, but this is scheduled to happen soon, hopefully (https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtk-9-2-0-release-cycle/8149). If that happens, the new release of ET should include kuibit 1.3.5, otherwise 1.3.4 will work fine.

The next major version of kuibit (1.4) will drop support to Python 3.6 and Python 3.7 (it is becoming impossible to manage dependencies for older versions of Python).

Best, Gabriele

Hello all,

Unfortunately I dropped the ball on the Spack tutorial tomorrow and it will ha e to be delayed by a week. So one more round of pre-release updates tomorrow.

Yours, Roland
