That depends. I tried updating scipy, numpy and matplotlib recently, but ran into a circular dependency (can't remember which). Something like this might help. I think we should do a 'python-updates' branch as soon as 'python-tests' is ready, where we can address this problem. Would you like to try updating the trio and resolving the dependency conflict? :-)
