Cannot import mediapipe - TypeError: 'numpy._DTypeMeta' object is not subscriptable

Question

The install is successful. I receive this error when trying to import.

TypeError: 'numpy._DTypeMeta' object is not subscriptable

I have tried higher and lower versions of numpy (1.22.0,1.23.0,1.24.0,1.25.0,1.25.2). I installed mediapipe via pypi as well as a downloaded whl ( mediapipe-0.10.3-cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl) from pypi

Versions

numpy                        1.21.5
mediapipe                    0.10.3

Python 3.10.6

I had this error while importing CV2. For this, use 1.20.0 version of numpy.

pip install numpy==1.20.0
