AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float'

The error AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float' occurs because the numpy.float, numpy.int, and similar aliases were deprecated in NumPy 1.20 and removed in NumPy 1.24. This issue arises when a package or script uses these outdated aliases.

Here’s how to resolve it:


1. Identify and Update the Affected Code

If this error is in your own code, replace numpy.float with the standard Python float type or the equivalent NumPy type:

  • Replace numpy.float with float or numpy.float64.
  • Replace numpy.int with int or numpy.int64.

Example:

# Before
x = numpy.float(10.5)

# After
x = float(10.5)  # Standard Python float
# or
x = numpy.float64(10.5)  # NumPy float64

2. Update the Dependencies

If the error is coming from a third-party library, check if there is a newer version of the library that supports recent NumPy versions. Upgrade it:

pip install --upgrade <package_name>

3. Use an Older NumPy Version (Temporary Fix)

If updating the library isn’t possible, downgrade NumPy to a version that still supports these aliases (e.g., 1.23):

pip install numpy==1.23

⚠️ This is a temporary workaround and not recommended for long-term use.


4. Modify Third-Party Code (if unavoidable)

If the problematic code is in a third-party library, and an update isn’t available, you can modify the code directly. Locate the file where the error occurs (as shown in the traceback) and replace numpy.float with float or numpy.float64.


5. Check for Compatibility

Use pip to check for compatibility issues:

pip check

This will identify any dependency conflicts that might be causing issues.


6. Inform the Developers

If the issue is with a third-party library, consider reporting it to the maintainers so they can update the code for newer NumPy versions.


If you’re working with a specific library, let me know, and I can provide more tailored guidance!
