Numpy 2.0 update causing issues with other software

[Josh-XT]

Forcing numpy to 2.0+ forces breaking changes on other software. Unless it is absolutely required to use 2.0+, can this be reverted?

Yes, also numpy 2.0.0 requires python 3.9. Then, the line numpy>=2.0.0; python_version < "3.9" leads to a bug.

Yes it is creating issue. I am facing issue while working with keyphrase-vectorizers==0.0.10 where it is using spacy version >=3.0.0 and it is installing spacy==3.8.2 i'm using python3.8 with numpy==1.24.3 which is compatable but spacy3.8.2 is looking for numpy2.0+ and that is not compatable with python3.8.

adding fasttext to the list of libs not compatible (and unfortunately also not maintained). we have found it to be the best language detection for shorter text.

@lsmith77 off-topic but I uploaded a numpy2 version of fasttext, because I ran into the same problem, and it was just a one line fix. see https://pypi.org/project/fasttext-numpy2/

There's no way to support both numpy v1 and numpy v2 in the same release. You'll need to pin your spaCy dependency to have an upper-bound that uses numpy v1.

This should be resolved now. numpy v2 is specified as a build-time dependency, while runtime is compatible with both.
