About the project

NumPy is a foundational package for numerical computing; it's one of the most downloaded projects on PyPI (top 20). It's been active since 2005.

How large is each release?

~650 MB for the latest release (2.3.1), and that will increase to 900 MB or so for the next release when we add Python 3.14 support. The number of platforms is also continuously growing, we added win_arm64 and may add ppc64le next. Individual wheel files sizes are reasonable (5-20 MB) and we optimize that size carefully.

We hit a project size limit again and the release manager had to delete a recent pre-release (xref numpy/numpy#29255). So we're asking for a larger bump this time that will last us several years.

How frequently do you make a release?

Roughly one every 6 weeks (2 feature release series per year, multiple bug fix releases per series).

@Thespi-Brain @ewdurbin sorry for the direct ping, but can one of you please approve this request? We just had to delete our last pre-release version (2.3.0rc1, only a couple of months old) to make space for yesterday's 2.3.2 release, so numpy is now officially blocked on doing new releases.
