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

[seizethedata]

Hi!

I've stumbled into an issue and would love any help / suggestions. This run on a Python 3.8 on Mac M1.

I'm trying to run this code on my own data (tried it with ac gtfs too):

path = '/Milano/comune-di-milano_20160216_1409.zip'

# Automatically identify the busiest day and
# read that in as a Partidge feed
feed = pt.get_representative_feed(path)

# Set a target time period to
# use to summarize impedance
start = 7*60*60  # 7:00 AM
end = 10*60*60  # 10:00 AM

# Converts feed subset into a directed
# network multigraph
G = pt.load_feed_as_graph(feed, start, end) 

and get an error:

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

Tried to reinstall everything and install from scratch, but to no avail.

The full output of the error is this:

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

This is the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75069062/module-numpy-has-no-attribute-object
Looks like numpy v1.24 and greater do not support this pattern. See more here: https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations

Looks like recommendation is to use unicode direction. Per the deprecation notes:

To give a clear guideline for the vast majority of cases, for the types bool, object, str (and unicode) using the plain version is shorter and clear, and generally a good replacement.
