Research direction

The report concerns Boost.Python compatibility with NumPy 2.0 and links pybind11 issue #5009; start by reviewing Boost.Python's current NumPy support and that related report. Determine whether NumPy 2.x is supported or a workaround exists, then validate the finding with a reproducible compatibility check.

Description

I am getting this error while using Boost.Python

A module that was compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot be run in
NumPy 2.0.0 as it may crash. To support both 1.x and 2.x
versions of NumPy, modules must be compiled with NumPy 2.0.
Some module may need to rebuild instead e.g. with 'pybind11>=2.12'.

If you are a user of the module, the easiest solution will be to
downgrade to 'numpy<2' or try to upgrade the affected module.
We expect that some modules will need time to support NumPy 2.

I'vent attached a reproducible example because it is a known issue in PyBind https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/5009

Is this issue resolved in Boost Python ? Do there exist any workaround ?
