numpy decorator import error

[gretzteam]

Using Python 3.8 on Ubuntu 20.04, getting the following import error:

File "/PyDSM/pydsm/NTFdesign/tests/test_NTFdesign_hybrid.py", line 27, in
from numpy.testing import decorators as dec
ImportError: cannot import name 'decorators' from 'numpy.testing' (/home/python3.8/site-packages/numpy/testing/init.py)

I fixed it by adding ._private to the numpy.testing module:
from numpy.testing._private import decorators as dec

Thanks for the report. I'll need to look into it since _private stuff is probably not meant for use out of numpy. Unfortunately, this year has managed breaking many activities and I may not have much time for PyDSM for about 1 month. In the meantime, I believe that your quick hack can be a workable solution.

Thanks for the interest in the software and the ideas being implemented! If you have questions on specific theoretical aspects, rather than possible bugs, it may be good to move the discussion elsewhere, though to avoid being too distracting to those coming in just for the issue about the decorator.

May I suggest that either:

• you contact me on my email address; or (possibly even better)
• you open a new issue for the package documentation, so we can see if the latter can be improved to clarify any doubt that one may have about the algorithms that are implemented in the code?

If you prefer I can copy over your question to a new issue myself and answer there.
