TSSP 3.5.0 doesn't start on Arch Linux system; NumPy incompatibility

[emk2203]

Describe the bug
Program doesn't start

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I installed v3.5.0 in /opt/turing-smart-screen-python and edited config.yaml according to my configuration. Installed Babel and NumPy with pacman, commented GPUtil in sensors_python.py since it's not needed (hardware is Intel NUC6CAYH, only internal Intel GPU)
2. Since this is running on a bare-bones system, no clicks and scrolls; everything done on command line.
3. User is part of uucp group and the permissions are set to allow write access for user in program directory (owner root, group uucp, permissions 0664/0775)
4. Starting program with systemctl. service file resides in /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/

Expected behavior
Program starts up and drives the display, systemctl status ... without errors

Screenshots / photos of the Turing screen
Nothing happens; log file (journalctl --unit=turing-smart-screen-python.service --since "1 hour ago")

Hi @emk2203
Numpy 2.x support is now implemented on main branch and will be included on the next release

[emk2203]

Would it work to clone main, or is it wip and not advised yet?

[mathoudebine]

Main branch should be fully functional at any time, you can use it if you like. I create releases for people that do not use Git, as a way to store changelogs and warn for breaking changes (if any)
