import error with numpy 1.24.4

I get this error while importing nltk.
I know since 1.21 numpy removed deprecated alias typeDict, but is it possible to run newest (3.8.1) with numpy >1.21?

    import nltk

Hello!

It seems that scipy is the package that actually uses typeDict from numpy. Perhaps you can upgrade your scipy version a bit to solve your problem?

Hi, yes! My oversight.. Scipy update solved the problem, thank you:)

Awesome :)
