What are we currently using blaze and odo for? The out of core stuff?
It is used in COB.py for easier managing of the bcolz data structure. It provides nice ways to access specific columns and what not, a lot like pandas, except for out of memory stuff.
Alot of this stuff can probably be done with just the bcolz functions, but I will have to look into it more. It is a really cool tool, but I am nervous about pace of development.
When networkx upgraded to 2.0, it broke something in odo, but their conda recipe has not been updated to reflect this change or their software has not been properly fixed. They are aware of this problem: https://github.com/blaze/odo/issues/579 .
Though we may want to consider assessing alternatives to Blaze and Odo given that Anaconda seems to be less invested in them lately, but I have not seen any official announcement to this effect, and the Repos seem to have awaken over the last couple of days. So who knows. This takes care ofthe problem for the time being.
