Cannot import glumpy with numpy >= 1.24 - np.bool removed from numpy

[fjansson]

import glumpy gives

I have numpy 1.24.1 and glumpy 1.2.0, Python 3.10.9.

The reason is probably that numpy removed np.bool and other such type aliases in release 1.24.0, they have been deprecated for some time, see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.24.0 . The file glumpy/gloo/variable.py uses many such aliases.

Here is documentation of the deprecations and what to replace the types with: https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations .

A fix has been proposed and I just merged it. Can you try?

[fjansson]

I installed the latest commit using pip, and it works. Thank you!

pip install -U git+https://github.com/glumpy/glumpy@54a7eab7c08fb

The only slight weirdness I found is the version numbering: pip said Successfully installed glumpy-1.1.1 and glumpy.__version__ returns 1.0.6.

[rougier]

Oh, I need to bump the internal version number. Do you want to make a PR?

[fjansson]

I don't think I'd do a very useful job with the version - I don't know where the version number is set, and also not what to set it to... perhaps just bump it for the next release?

[rougier]

I've found the line.
