Hi Guix!

I would like to open a conversation on upgrading NumPy, Pandas, Numba
and SciPY.

It would be reasonable to refresh that core scientific packages for
Python after merging python-team which is nearly finished building.

Stats:
- branch :: master
- repository URL :: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git

| Package       | Dependents | Guix version | Upstream version | Checked                |
|---------------+------------+--------------+------------------+------------------------|
| python-numba  |        136 |       0.56.4 |           0.60.0 | <2024-10-19 Sat 08:42> |
| python-numpy  |       3394 |       1.23.2 |            2.1.2 | <2024-10-19 Sat 08:38> |
| python-pandas |        423 |        2.1.1 |            2.2.3 | <2024-10-19 Sat 08:43> |
| python-scipy  |        334 |       1.12.0 |           1.14.1 | <2024-10-19 Sat 08:42> |

I've started noticing that more and more projects require a fresh
version of NumPy during Astro upgrade monthly, sometimes it's captured
on sanity check phase, but most of the time the package is just not work
especially when it depends on python-astropy which heavily depends on
NumPy.

Does anyone work on that packages or would be interested in taking the
flag?
