Testing of v4.0 Release Candidate(s)

You can install the RC with e.g.:

pip install astropy==4.0rc2

or if the above command does not work yet

pip install git+https://github.com/astropy/astropy.git@v4.0rc2

and test it with (make sure you have the latest version of dependencies pytest-astropy, pytest-doctestplus, pytest-astropy-header installed):

python -c "import astropy; astropy.test(remote_data=True)"

Or if you don't want to install (and/or want to test the docs files, too), you can do the following, assuming you have pytest 3.6+ installed:

pip download astropy==4.0rc2
tar xzf astropy-4.0rc2.tar.gz
cd astropy-4.0rc2
python setup.py test --remote-data

This will produce a long sequence of dots and letters indicating the test is running. At the end you should see something like

=========== 8949 passed, 115 skipped, 73 xfailed, 1 xpassed, 2 pytest-warnings in 476.85 seconds ===========

If this shows no failures, you can report it in the table below as a "success", otherwise put it as a "failure" (and if need be you can create an issue in the astropy issue tracker).

If you are in a hurry and already have the astropy git source set up, you can also just checkout the v4.0rc1 tag. Don't forget to fetch the latest changes first (git fetch --all). Note, though, that the pip (or downloading the pypi tarball and installing it) is preferred, because that's closer to what users will do.

Testing with coordinated/affiliated/other downstream packages

Package name name (real or Github) yea or nay Notes, links to travis, etc
photutils Brigitta Sipocz (@bsipocz) Y
astroquery Brigitta Sipocz (@bsipocz) N Issues with caching, but only affects the test suite, not user-facing functionality
ccdproc Brigitta Sipocz (@bsipocz) N real failures with nddata and low_level_wcs: ccdproc/#707
regions Brigitta Sipocz (@bsipocz) Y
reproject Brigitta Sipocz (@bsipocz) Y unrelated doctest failure
specutils Travis CI N (but not Astropy's fault?) Tons of failures, due primarily to wcs and modeling. Most (probably all?) seem to be not Astropy per se but rather how it's being used. fixes tracked in specutils#553
