Dependency issue between numpy and pandas.

[SebastianDall]

Hi,

I was trying to setup taxconverter so I can run taxVAMB in a fresh conda env with python 3.10 (also tried 3.11). However after installation as described in the README I got this error when running the tool:

taxconverter kraken2 -i kraken2_annotations.tsv -o results.tsv
<long stacktrace>
ValueError: numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject

The solution was simple as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78634235/numpy-dtype-size-changed-may-indicate-binary-incompatibility-expected-96-from

I just had to install numpy=1.26.4 instead of letting pandas decide:

Based on this I suggest pinning numpy to 1.26.4:

pyproject.toml:

dependencies = [
    "pandas == 2.0.0",
    "numpy == 1.26.4",
    "loguru == 0.7.2",
]

Kind regards, Sebastian
