Cannot import mediapipe - TypeError: 'numpy._DTypeMeta' object is not subscriptable

The install is successful. I receive this error when trying to import.

TypeError: 'numpy._DTypeMeta' object is not subscriptable

enter image description here

I have tried higher and lower versions of numpy (1.22.0,1.23.0,1.24.0,1.25.0,1.25.2). I installed mediapipe via pypi as well as a downloaded whl ( mediapipe-0.10.3-cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl) from pypi

Versions

numpy                        1.21.5
mediapipe                    0.10.3

Python 3.10.6

Solution

  • Updating numpy to 1.23 works. I was not restarting the kernel after installing versions of numpy. With notebook-scoped libraries, use dbutils.library.restartPython(). If you are using cluster-scoped libraries, then be sure to restart your cluster.

    There's an issue about this that's documented on the OpenCV repo here: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/23822 In short, it imported successfully with most numpy>=1.22.0 versions. Just be careful, if you use some of the most recent library versions, like numpy>=1.25.0, you start running into other compatibility issues.
