Hey everyone,
I'm running Python 3.12.5 and trying to get MQL5's MetaTrader5 installed and running. In an empty venv (I purged the cache just to be sure), I use 'pip install MetaTrader5' which installs the package and also installs it's one dependency -> numpy. So my virtual environment has just those two packages, and they are both the latest and greatest (verified via PyPI). When I do a simple 'import MetaTrader5', python throws an error stating that MetaTrader5 was compiled using numpy 1.x and is *not* compatible with numpy 2.x. The funny part is that MetaTrader5 package automatically installs a numpy>=1.7 via pip (v2.1.1 is latest). I did downgrade numpy to 1.26.4 (last v1.x release) and I'm able to use the MetaTrader5 package. Is MQL5 really compiling their package with an old numpy while installing a non-supported version of numpy? Perhaps I'm missing something here. Thanks in advance!
:-)
