by Abraham Escalante for Python Software Foundation

With the upcoming release of “Scipy 1.0” it must be ensured that the quality of this module is up to par and while the efforts to improve it have been ongoing, there are still some milestones to be reached in order to accomplish the goal. These milestones include a number of enhancements and addressing several maintenance issues.
