encountering error in running command "vcfdo --help", after a successful installation

[tahirali-biomics]

I am getting the following error which seems to be related to 'numpy'. I tried to troubleshoot this by installing different versions of 'numpy-1.25.2', 'numpy-1.26.1', I also uninstalled and reinstalled vcfdo but could not fix this issue:
[tali@cheops1 tools]$ vcfdo --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/projects/ag-demeaux/tali/tools/python3.9/Python-3.9.18/bin/vcfdo", line 14, in
np.warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")
File "/projects/ag-demeaux/tali/tools/python3.9/Python-3.9.18/lib/python3.9/site-packages/numpy/init.py", line 333, in getattr
raise AttributeError("module {!r} has no attribute "
AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'warnings'
I really appreciate your help and support in resolving this problem. Thank you.

It looks like this is due to a change in numpy (which may trickle down into another package). When I was last actively maintaining the package I was developing against v1.19.4. I have not worked on this recently so a workaround (for now) would be to use an environment manager like conda to install against the above version of numpy.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for replying to my query, I will try installing it the way you have suggested and let you know if it works.

I confirm this issue is raised on a conda env with python=3.8 and numpy=1.24. Tried different numpy versions but finally seems to be working with numpy=1.20.
