Something with numpy and SharedArray changes upstream. @TalonMyburgh just solved this problem in his install -- Talon, could you please post the details here?

If you pin sharedarray to version 3.2.1 and numpy to <2.0 it fixed a similar issue elsewhere. I think sharedarray has no upper bound on numpy so it recently started pulling 2.0.

Caveat - this morning in trying to recreate the problem for DDFacet so I could open a PR, it appeared to no longer be a problem - even though it was installing 2.0. It may be that an update was made to numpy last night since sharedarray has not seen changes in years.
