Remove python implementation of OLS ramp fitting #8614

Open stscijgbot-jp opened 4 months ago

stscijgbot-jp commented 4 months ago

Issue JP-3676 was created on JIRA by Melanie Clarke:

As of JP-3671, the C implementation of the OLS ramp fitting algorithm is the default implementation.

Since we intend to continue to use the C implementation, we should mark the Python implementation with a deprecation notice now.  After a reasonable amount of time for testing and comparison, we should remove the Python implementation so that only one version needs to be maintained going forward.

Comment by David Law on JIRA:

I'd be inclined to hold off on saying that we're going to deprecate it until after all of the 11.0 testing has been completed.  Then give it another six months or so to shake out through public usage before actually removing the code.  Everything looks good so far, but we could still be surprised.

Sounds good to me.
