 PyWavelets supports `Python`_ >=3.10, and is only dependent on `NumPy`_
 (supported versions are currently ``>= 1.23.0``). To pass all of the tests,
-`Matplotlib`_ is also required. `SciPy`_ is also an optional dependency. When

 There are binary wheels for Intel Linux, Windows and macOS / OSX on PyPi.  If
