I tried manually installing 1.21.0 and 1.21.1 (which both appear in the list), as well as simply pip install "numpy<1.24.0" but all of these fail with an error somehow not finding distutils ? (I checked manually and was able to import it without issue).

pip install "numpy<1.24.0"

Darn I hate Python lol

Also the reason I'm doing this is I want to check the output format of OSF, see if and how it could be combined with Mediapipe to add hand-tracking capabilities

Update: I managed to get sample data from a working OSF-based app but I'm lost for words here, in what format is this data encoded exactly ?

[emilianavt]

You can probably use a newer version of numpy as long as you check out the repository rather than using a release. I'm not sure what's going on with the distutils issue.

Update: I managed to get sample data from a working OSF-based app but I'm lost for words here, in what format is this data encoded exactly ?

That probably depends on the application.

[Lurux]

The app is just using OSF's native options to send its data over UDP.

I'll try that but I seem to remember this results in an error because np.float has long been deprecated now
