error importing autograd: "module 'numpy' has no attribute 'msort'"

[Garren-H]

Hi all

I have recently installed autograd through conda using the conda-forge channel. I have run into an issue that numpy has no attribute msort. Any help with this would be much appreciated

Hey @Garren-H, autograd is currently not compatible with the recent numpy 2 release. We are working towards a new, numpy 2 compatible, version, see #618. If you want to use autograd before that, you could downgrade numpy to a version <2.0.

Thank you for the response. This worked.
