Upgrading to scipy 1.7 in Anaconda?

I currently have scipy 1.6.3 in my Conda installation, but I need scipy 1.7 because it has additional, important functions. I tried a few codes in the anaconda prompt, such as:

conda update --all

and also

conda install scipy

However, when I then typed "conda list" command to see what version of scipy installed, it remained at 1.6.3 (not the latest version, which is 1.7).

do you know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!

Thank you for asking this! I just ran into the same problem. The command conda install scipy=1.7.0 --yes is not enough. conda install -c conda-forge scipy=1.7.0 --yes is what worked for me. It took some time before it updated.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Upgrading to SciPy 1.7.0 for me in anaconda made SciPy unusable to me. Importing SciPy to check the version would give me the following error: FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'C:\Users\Computer\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\scipy\.libs\libbanded5x.X7D476RWJKO3TRH4FXIEB4YEAKNOYBT4.gfortran-win_amd64.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

I reverted back to SciPy 1.6.2 by using conda update --all --yes (conda apparently removes/downgrades incompatible package versions with this command even if they're the latest). SciPy is once again usable to me.

I don't mind Scipy being at 1.6.2 for me now. I'll just wait until Anaconda/conda can catch up.

I got this when I try :

STAT-Spip-~/Unix/Python/Tests  conda create -n TEST -c conda-forge scipy
STAT-Spip-~/Unix/Python/Tests  conda activate TEST
TEST-Spip-~/Unix/Python/Tests  python

>>> import scipy
>>> dir(scipy)
['test']
>>>
>>> dir(scipy.test)

Seems that scipy 1.7 on conda-forge is a bit strange :-((

Same problem with osx-64 channel
