Problem importing Glow

[LuisGGon]

I just have installed glow.py through poetry but when I run import glow I got the following error message:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'unicode'. Did you mean: 'unicode_'?

Probably the reason behind the problem is that nptyping 1.3.0 is a little bit old for numpy requirements.

glow depends on spark, did you also start the spark shell with the glow maven package?

Hi @LuisGGon we'll have a new release soon that works with newer nptyping versions. If you would like to test before then, you can build the Scala and Python artifacts from source.
