Thanks for this, I also encountered the same issue using a more recent version of numpy and had to implement the same fixes as yours. Hope the authors will merge and release a new version soon such that we do not need to patch the code

Is this change backward compatible with older numpy versions? If not, we should at least update the requirements https://github.com/Open-Science-Tools/nd2reader/blob/master/requirements.txt

Thank you so much and apologies for the delay in responding. I'm no longer working in this field and can't maintain the repository any longer due to various reasons. If anyone would like to help out, please reach out to me.

The 3.7 test is failing because that python version is no longer on github, I'll merge this PR and thank you again so much for your contribution.
