My initial call to python3 -m pip install -e . failed with the following message (laser_allee is the root of my local repo):

After updating to Python 3.9.19 (from 3.8.10), laser completed installation with no error messages. However, I had to pip install pandas and matplotlib manually in order to run engwal.py and test_userid.py successfully.

This occurred in the gc-eng-wal-model branch.

Yeah, I think the pinned version of numpy (1.26.2) only supports python 3.9-3.12.

now looking at the numpy 2.0.0. release notes. sent me down a rabbit hole!
