    py-h5py: updated to 3.9.0

    What's new in h5py 3.9
    ======================

    This version of h5py requires Python 3.8 or above.

    New features
    ------------

    * New ``out`` argument to :meth:`~h5py.h5d.DatasetID.read_direct_chunk` to allow passing
      the output buffer (:pr:`2232`).
    * The objects from :meth:`.Dataset.asstr` and :meth:`.Dataset.astype` now
      implement the ``__array__()`` method (:pr:`2269`).
      This speeds up access for functions that support it, such as ``np.asarray()``.
    * Validate key types when creating groups and attributes, giving better error
      messages when invalid types are used (:pr:`2266`).

    Deprecations & removals
    -----------------------

    * Using :meth:`.Dataset.astype` as a context manager has been removed, after
      being deprecated in h5py 3.6. Read data by slicing the returned object instead:
      ``dset.astype('f4')[:]``.

    Exposing HDF5 functions
    -----------------------

    * ``H5Pget_elink_acc_flags`` & ``H5Pset_elink_acc_flags`` as
      :meth:`h5py.h5p.PropLAID.get_elink_acc_flags` & :meth:`h5py.h5p.PropLAID.set_elink_acc_flags`:
      access the external link file access traversal flags in a link access property
      list (:pr:`2244`).
    * ``H5Zregister`` as :func:`h5py.h5z.register_filter`: register an HDF5 filter
      (:pr:`2229`).

    Bug fixes
    ---------

    * ``Group.__contains__`` and ``Group.get`` now use the default link access
      property list systematically (:pr:`2244`).
    * Removed various calls to the deprecated ``numpy.product`` function (:pr:`2242`
      & :pr:`2273`).
    * Fix the IPython tab-completion integration in IPython 8.12 (:pr:2256`).
    * Replacing attributes with :meth:`.AttributeManager.create` now deletes the old
      attributes before creating the new one, rather than using a temporary name
      and renaming the new attribute (:pr:`2274`). This should avoid some confusing
      bugs affecting attributes. However, failures creating an attribute are less
      likely to leave an existing attribute of the same name in place. To change an
      attribute value without changing its shape or dtype, use
      :meth:`~.AttributeManager.modify` instead.

    Building h5py
    -------------

    * When building with :ref:`parallel` support, the version of mpi4py used on
      various Python versions is increased to 3.1.1, fixing building with a newer
      setuptools (:pr:`2225`).
    * Some fixes towards compatibility with the upcoming Cython 3 (:pr:`2247`).
