Motivation
scipy
is used only by theCSRMatrix
data type, which is currently rarely used. To reduce the chance of dependency conflicts and reduce the install time, I propose we makescipy
an optional requirement.This is a breaking change since users using the
CSRMatrix
type will need to installscipy
separately.Merging into new
hdmf_4.0
branch.Checklist
