RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0x10 but this version of numpy is 0xf

Hello developers,

I am a student of CS666.org course at University of Massachusetts, Boston.

I tried importing Mahotas package on Google Colab and came across an error stating,
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mahotas'.

So I installed mahotas using '!pip install mahotas' and then tried importing the package but the runtime error that encountered was,
RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0x10 but this version of numpy is 0xf.

The fix that I tried was to upgrade the numpy version and import again, but this doesn't seems to be a good fix rather this issue can be resolved by recompiling mahotas in colab environment by using '!pip install mahotas --no-binary :all:'. Then 'import mahotas as mh'.

Here is the google colab link with the mentioned issue,
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1eJXja3svribxyM9YLIIbuXLRZ3CVbz4z#scrollTo=UtNoZrdd0043

I would like to ask mahotas developers that can we come up with a better solution for this issue?

!pip install mahotas --no-binary :all: works but a pre-packaged mahotas would be much better. it used to work on colab before google updated numpy.
