Report Bugs¶
Please help us by reporting any problems you find.
Projects in the SciPy Stack all have their own bug trackers, on which issues can be reported. Questions and feature requests are best sent to the mailing list of the project it concerns.
Please report bugs, documentation errors etc., in the following trackers:
For problems with this scipy.org website, use the bug tracker for the scipy.org website project. This excludes docs.scipy.org: problems in docs should be reported to the project which the document describes.
Guidelines for submitting bugs¶
Provide a good description. Tickets in the vein of “SciPy is BROKEN!!!” are not useful; rather, please state the problem clearly, e.g., “scipy.ndimage ignores keyword ‘axis’”.
Include a minimal standalone code snippet to illustrate the problem. Try to narrow it down to a few lines.
If you experience segfaults or memory errors, give a GDB traceback:

Then use the “bt” command after the segfault happens to get the backtrace. Alternatively, run the code using Valgrind.
