PyTables triggers a DeprecationWarning in numpy 1.20: np.object is a deprecated alias for the builtin object

[JackKelly]

Here's the full error message :)

python3.9/site-packages/tables/array.py:241: 
DeprecationWarning: `np.object` is a deprecated alias
for the builtin `object`. To silence this warning, use `object` by itself. 
Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. 
  Deprecated in NumPy 1.20; for more details and guidance:
   https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations
    (oid, self.atom, self.shape, self._v_chunkshape) = self._open_array()

(Thanks loads for all your work on PyTables, it's super-useful!)

Thanks for reporting

This was fixed in #862 (see this commit: e8d6223). There are some issues blocking the release of a new version with the fix though: #826.

Another one I spotted:

Using numpy 1.21.2 and latest pytables.

Fixed in 65af351.

Thanks for the fixings, I am wondering if there is a plan to release those fixes, since the version 3.6.1 was released two years ago.
