NumPy 2.0 and SymPy 1.11 are incompatible + other issues
See job #1225967.
Our SymPy version is still fixed to 1.11 (why exactly?), which now causes problems together with NumPy 2.0.
The symptom: sympify
as implemented in 1.11 does not work on numpy data types anymore.
Solution: Upgrade SymPy. Are there any reasons not to? @holzer
There's also some other, minor issues with NumPy 2.0 that can easily be fixed. Patches coming soon.
