Source: theano
Severity: wishlist

(Posting here rather than on debian-release as the formal transition process is rarely used, and its tools mostly useless, for non-compiled cases.)

Theano 1.0 (currently in Salsa) contains some API-breaking changes:
http://www.deeplearning.net/software/theano/NEWS.html

The packages in main that import theano are:

brian - not tested, FTBFS for unrelated reasons (#876920), not in testing
deepnano - not tested but looks already broken, not in testing
keras - build and debci tests pass; upstream say it shouldn't be a problem https://github.com/keras-team/keras/issues/5209 lasagne - 3 test failures; fixed upstream by https://github.com/Lasagne/Lasagne/pull/836 pyopencl - FTBFS for unrelated reasons (#893050); the theano-using code appears to be build/test scripts (pyopencl/compyte/gen*, test*) we never actually run sympy - build hangs at mkdir -p _build/logo (with mkdir using a full CPU core?!), probably unrelated as it also happens without *-theano installed

As one of the changes is removal of theano.sandbox.cuda (replaced by theano.gpuarray, with a different API) and my hardware doesn't support CUDA, I am unable to test this fully and testing by others would be welcome. Be aware that if python(3)-nose is installed (it wasn't for these tests), attempting to import theano.sandbox.cuda raises SkipTest (?!), not ImportError: https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/theano/raw/master/theano/sandbox/cuda/__init__.py
