Compatibility with future NumPy releases: numpy.compat will be removed

[tovrstra]

The format.py module uses numpy.compat, which is deprecated and slated for removal in future NumPy versions:

npy-append-array/npy_append_array/format.py

Line 4 in c74a4c3

from numpy.compat import (

On recent NumPy versions (>= 2.0.0), one gets the following warning when numpy.compat is imported:

DeprecationWarning: `np.compat`, which was used during the Python 2 to 3 transition, is deprecated since 1.26.0, and will be removed

It is not clear to me from precisely which version np.compat will become unavailable.
