AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'NAN'. Did you mean: 'nan'?

When running cice_from_mom to fix https://github.com/COSIMA/access-om3/issues/252 I get

see esmgrids/mom_grid.py#L176.

Is np.NAN an alias of np.nan that's only available in some versions of numpy? ie should we use np.nan throughout the code instead?

hmm - thats odd. Do you have permissions to trigger the tests manually ? e.g. at https://github.com/COSIMA/esmgrids/actions/workflows/ci.yml ?

I've never used np.NAN before. Not sure how it might have worked previously.

[anton-seaice]

It looks like np.NAN was deprecated with numpy 2.0 (released mid 2024).

Specifying "numpy ==1.26.4" in pyproject.toml works as expected, and is maybe safer option than updated the esmgrids code in haste.

[aekiss]

changing np.NAN to np.nan throughout the code fixed my issue and is a more future-proof solution if np.NAN is equivalent to np.nan in numpy <2.0

[anton-seaice]

Yeah good - I just wasn't sure if their could be other unexpected differences with numpy 2 !

[aekiss]

I'll open a PR

This was closed through ACCESS-NRI/access-om3-configs#237

We decided to revert to numpy 1 as the ocean_model_grid_generator test dependency also didn't work with numpy 2. I raised an issue on that repo see ACCESS-NRI/ocean_model_grid_generator#2
