scipy.signal.find_peaks not whitelisted?

Anyone know why scipy.signal.find_peaks isn't a whitelisted function but scipy.signal.find_peaks_cwt is? As far as I know they both do the same thing, but find_peaks_cwt has a much less intuitive interface, and the find_peaks function was made to overcome that to make it more accessible. Unclear what security issue it poses.

I reached out to support twice and they ghosted me.

The Scipy method signal.find_peaks was added to Scipy in version 1.1.0. Quantopian uses version 0.17.1 before that method was added. It would be whitelisted if it existed. Here's a link to the 0.17.1 docs if needed https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.17.1/reference/signal.html#module-scipy.signal

Hi Dan, thanks for clarifying. Do you think the platform will upgrade its scipy version any time soon?
