Description Brian J. Murrell 2019-09-06 15:58:18 UTC 
Is there any technical reason why this package has lagged so far behind?  F30 has 3.0.1 for example.

The version in epel7 currently is over 3 years old.  Just wondering if there is any technical reason for that.
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2019-09-07 06:51:59 UTC 
mpi4py-2.0 had various incompatible changes from mpi4py-1.3 that is in EPEL. So we just
follow the usual policy of only updating things in EPEL if a bug is reported.

This package has changed maintainer in the Fedora.
Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
Comment 3 Gwyn Ciesla 2020-06-23 19:14:54 UTC 
Please reopen if there's a major security issue or other bug in the release EL-7 version.
Comment 4 Brian J. Murrell 2020-06-23 19:55:41 UTC 
Maybe a piece of software in a repository gets so old that nobody even uses it any more to find bugs, or security issues, etc.

I know I'm certainly in that camp, rolling my own, newer version now.
