problem of numpy version

[Jingyi2000]

Hello, when running the Integration of the pero-ocr python module, I encountered a problem with the numpy version, the error showed:

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float'.
np.float was a deprecated alias for the builtin float. To avoid this error in existing code, use float by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. If you specifically wanted the numpy scalar type, use np.float64 here.
The aliases was originally deprecated in NumPy 1.20; for more details and guidance see the original release note at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations

If I want to lower the numpy version, scipy, numba, etc. also need to lower the version for compatibility, but many lower versions cannot be installed on my computer. What suggestions do you have? Thanks in advance!

Hi, this issue is fixed in the current develop branch. Next week at the latest, @ibenes plans to create a new release and therefore the changes from the develop branch will go to the master branch.

If you are working with a local copy of the repository, you can of course change the branch to develop and it should work. Just be careful, there are more changes between the master and develop branches and they can affect integration - the biggest change is the creation of a core directory where the Layout class definition is, for example.

If you need any further help with the integration, let us know and we will assist you.

Dear @Jingyi2000,
it took an academic interpretation of "next week at latest" ;-) but the new version is finally live. In the process, we have removed several other deprecation warnings, allowing for integration of pero-ocr with newer versions of several packages, notably numba and shapely.
