register pyregion-2.2 on Anaconda #162
Description
pyregion-2.1 does not work with recent few versions of numpy; specifically it fails with an exception (always or sometimes?) from numpy-1.23 onwards (the current version is numpy-1.26 as of March 2024) because pyregion-2.1 uses the long-deprecated and now removed numpy.asscalar. See numpy's release note https://numpy.org/doc/stable/release/1.23.0-notes.html
The incompatibility is fixed at pyregion-2.2.
The current version of pyregion in PyPi is 2.2, so it is fine.
However, those in Conda::forge and Conda/astropy are both pyregion-2.1.1. Thus, they do not work with new installation via conda, as recent numPy would be installed in default.
Anaconda/conda is a popular Python-package-management framework for scientists. Could you register a newer version of pyregion on Conda servers, please?
