Auto-fix your code with Ruff:
ruff check src/ --select NPY201 --fix # ruff>=0.4.8
If the error is inside a dependency: upgrade that dependency (prophet fixed it in PR #2592); pin numpy<2 only as a stop-gap.
Symptom
Importing a library (prophet, chromadb, older nflverse/weave versions) or running your own code under NumPy 2.x raises:
AttributeError: `np.float_` was removed in the NumPy 2.0 release. Use `np.float64` instead.. Did you mean: 'float16'?
Same family: np.NaN, np.Inf, np.complex_, np.unicode_, np.string_, np.cast, np.product, np.cumproduct, np.alltrue, np.sometrue, np.round_, np.asfarray, np.find_common_type, np.mat.
Cause
NumPy 2.0 (2024-06-16) removed ~100 main-namespace aliases (NEP 52). np.core was also renamed to private np._core.
Verify
ruff check src/ --select NPY201 reports nothing; python -c "import numpy, yourpkg; print(numpy.__version__)" works on 2.x.
