ERROR: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'object'

[xyang2uchicago]

module 'numpy' has no attribute 'object'
I install pyscenic under my conda environment of Python 3.11.7

pip install cytoolz
pip install pyscenic

Then, I followed the tutorial at https://pyscenic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html
step by step.

The error cam when I called:

from pyscenic.prune import prune2df, df2regulons

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'object'.
np.object was a deprecated alias for the builtin object. To avoid this error in existing code, use object by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe.
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. Did you mean: 'object_'?

Similarly, when I try to follow the notebook at https://github.com/aertslab/SCENICprotocol/blob/master/notebooks/SCENIC%20Protocol%20-%20Case%20study%20-%20Mouse%20brain%20data%20set.ipynb
The similar error came at:

The package versions are:

version('pandas')
'2.2.0'
version('numpy')
'1.26.3'
version('cytoolz')
'0.12.3'
version('pyscenic')
'0.12.1'

Thank you for suggestions.

Problem solved by rebuilding a conda environment build fr python 3.8 with numpy 1.24.4.

It's not useful. Numpy deleted np.object in 1.20. The only way right now is change the code in pyscenic/transform.py. Change all np.object to object can call out the help page.
