Parse gds files in python

(This message has also been posted as an issue on the pygds repo)

Hello Dr. Zheng,

I was wondering if pygds is still being supported and if it’s compatible with the GDS file format and with modern versions of python, numpy, and gcc? I’ve been experiencing issues installing pygds. In particular, using the command ’pip install git+git://github.com/CoreArray/pygds.git' generates the following error:

src/PyCoreArray.cpp: In function ‘bool pygds_init()’:
src/PyCoreArray.cpp:899:25: error: ‘NUMPY_IMPORT_ARRAY_RETVAL’ was not declared in this scope
899 | if (init() == NUMPY_IMPORT_ARRAY_RETVAL) return false;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there any chance you know what may cause this?
