With latest numpy update, generates an error on initialization

[rabinnh]

Using numpy 1.19.2 (I don't believe this occurred with 1.17.*), tzwhere 3.0.3, on initialization get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/numpy/core/_asarray.py:83: VisibleDeprecationWarning: Creating an ndarray from ragged nested sequences (which is a list-or-tuple of lists-or-tuples-or ndarrays with different lengths or shapes) is deprecated. If you meant to do this, you must specify 'dtype=object' when creating the ndarray
return array(a, dtype, copy=False, order=order)

This obviously happens on the "WRAP(polys)" calls on lines 62 and 65.

If I comment out the "import numpy" section and declare WRAP and COLLECTION_TYPE as tuples, then quite obviously this error goes away.

Maybe as simple as this? #58

[John2013]

ValueError on numpy==1.24.1

  File ".../venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tzwhere/tzwhere.py", line 62, in __init__
    self.timezoneNamesToPolygons[tzname] = WRAP(polys)
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The requested array has an inhomogeneous shape after 2 dimensions. The detected shape was (1, 2) + inhomogeneous part.

Same thing here :(

Same thing (tzwhere 3.0.3, numpy 3.24). When trying to downgrade numpy, it fails because it doesn't support Python 3.10 :(
Now I have to downgrade python and rebuild venv :(

hi @ostapkostyk , check the #58
Maybe is possible for you to switch to other package?

If you're like me, and you're disappointed by a fundamental issue not being solve in three years, just use the alternative:
