@dengwirda having some problems with the bootstrap numpy technique used to package this (exclusively with python3.9). I attempted to bypass this potential problem. Any thoughts on releasing a new version with this merged in?
The Travis CI didn't all fail. It shows only a problem with Windows...
@krober10nd thanks for looking into this --- it seems there's a few different python-version/windows/cibuildwheel incompatibilities that need to be worked through here. I wish the python/cython workflows were a little more stable...
I'll try to look at this over the next week though.
Cool, thanks. Well I temporarily switched to using this version to get around the numpy bootstrap issue and I can confirm it worked on the CI server for the Python3.9 tests.
TBH, it would also be nice to push a warning to the screen in the case, it can't use Cython to compile so users can anticipate a big slow down.
any fixes for this?
