Installation broken in fresh virtual environments

[EdmundGoodman]

Description

The QML library cannot be installed in an environment where NumPy is not already installed, for example a fresh virtual environment when installing another project which uses QML as a dependency.

To reproduce

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install qml

If NumPy is installed beforehand, then it works

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install numpy
pip install qml

How to fix

NumPy should be specified as a dependency in the setup configuration.

Hi there,

The system is Centos stream 9, I run this code
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install numpy
pip install qml

It has the same error "No module named numpy". "pip install numpy" did not work.
I tried to use Intel compiler (2019) and ifort 19.0.0.117 with MKL, also failed showing " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy' "

Thanks

probably related to #149

Anybody managed to fix that?

I have numpy==1.23.4 installed, and I can't install qml@git+https://github.com/qmlcode/qml@a7921c9176b9498dcce096efad0883271706d633 ...

This issue is almost one year old. Can we have some feedback from the maintainers?
