Cause

 

There have been some changes to NumPy version 1.24.0 onwards and np.bool has been deprecated. As such, it is not compatible with the Alteryx package in the Python tool.

Excerpt from the Numpy Release notes for version 1.24.0:

Resolution

NumPy version 1.19.1 is pre-installed with Python tool. If you have upgraded the NumPy version to 1.24.0 and above but if you do not need to use this version, please downgrade the version to a lower version than 1.24.0. The minimum version should be version 1.19.1 to ensure compatibility.

Hello,

Which numpy version should you downgrade to? When trying to downgrade to numpy 1.19.1, other python packages don't work since they require a more updated numpy version.

Thanks.
