RuntimeError: implement_array_function method already has a docstring when using Embuary

[dustinwilson]

I am using Kodi Leia on Manjaro Linux and am getting a series of errors that pop up every time I pretty much do anything with Embuary.

There seems to be an open issue on numpy for the exception.

[dustinwilson]

Sorry, should have mentioned that I was using the latest version of Embruary (including this helper) from your repository.

[sualfred]

Kodi is sharing the python modules with the one of the OS.
It's caused by a incomptible Pillow package on your system. You have to get rid of it by yourself.

I would try to uninstall/update the pillow package or try different versions.

Edit:
Or the numpy package. No idea. It's different on each Linux installation/distribution. There's nothing I can do from my end.

[dustinwilson]

Using the one straight from numpy's repo yields the same results as the one provided by Arch's repo. Mutpy were having the same problem with newer versions of numpy, too; they've seem to have found a workaround maybe. I've also tried this on Ubuntu and macOS, and if I use any version of numpy higher than 1.15.4 I get these exact errors.

I'm sure there's nothing you can do about it, but leaving this here for others to find.

@dustinwilson
Just found some minutes to read thru your links. Is it resolved with the newest numpy package?

[dustinwilson]

Sorry about the delay. I was away from home. No, the newest numpy package doesn't resolve it.

[sualfred]

Ok. Anyway, at least not a issue on my end. But let me know when you can solve it so other users can benefit.

[dustinwilson]

Doubtful I'll find a solution unless the numpy people fix it themselves. Mutpy found some workaround, but I'm not proficient enough with python to make sense of what they did. For the moment I'm just preventing upgrading to the latest numpy package to keep things working.

I created a file name copy.py in my code repository which led to this error, removing the file made it alright. Maybe this is linked to the same problem.
