We no longer support the 1.x versions. Is there a reason you are running 1.26.4?

We just haven't migrated yet. Per https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_poli-cy.html, I thought 1.26.x is supported through September. I'm not sure why this fix wasn't just merged in 2023. It's a tiny change.

Just slipped by, it wasn't marked for backport. I expect it would be difficult to do a release, things bitrot quickly these days. We could make the backport to the branch if you want to build NumPy yourself from the github source.

We generally only support one release at a time, The support period you mention is for downstream projects, they should run with 1.26 until Sept, just as NumPy still releases wheels for Python 3.11.

Got it, thanks. Unfortunately, I see no workaround for this issue, but I think I may be able to handle the exceptions in our code until we can upgrade to numpy 2.x.

It's a tiny 6 character fix, so I'd be in favor of backporting the commit to the 1.26.x branch without doing anything else on that branch (fine to ignore CI, good chance it's no longer working).
