# set_global_backend

scipy.fft.set_global_backend(backend, coerce=False, only=False, try_last=False)

  Sets the global fft backend

  This utility method replaces the default backend for permanent use. It will be tried in the list of backends automatically, unless the `only` flag is set on a backend. This will be the first tried backend outside the `set_backend` context manager.

  Parameters:
    backend{object, ‘scipy’}

      The backend to use. Can either be a `str` containing the name of a known backend {‘scipy’} or an object that implements the uarray protocol.

    coerce bool

      Whether to coerce input types when trying this backend.

    only bool

      If `True`, no more backends will be tried if this fails. Implied by `coerce=True`.

    try_last bool

      If `True`, the global backend is tried after registered backends.

  Raises:
    ValueError: If the backend does not implement `numpy.scipy.fft`.

  Notes

  This will overwrite the previously set global backend, which, by default, is the SciPy implementation.

  Examples

  We can set the global fft backend:

      >>> from scipy.fft import fft, set_global_backend
      >>> set_global_backend("scipy")  # Sets global backend (default is "scipy").
      >>> fft([1])  # Calls the global backend
      array([1.+0.j])
