[Python] catboost problem? numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility....

# Basic Import
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
# Modelling
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error, r2_score
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsRegressor
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeRegressor
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor,AdaBoostRegressor
from sklearn.svm import SVR
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression, Ridge,Lasso
from sklearn.metrics import r2_score, mean_absolute_error, mean_squared_error
from sklearn.model_selection import RandomizedSearchCV
from catboost import CatBoostRegressor
from xgboost import XGBRegressor
import warnings


everything is imported perfectly when i comment out catboost

using Python 3.12.0 I’ve already tried:

Upgrading all related libraries (pip install --upgrade <package_name>).

Checking for outdated packages with pip list --outdated.

Creating a fresh virtual environment and reinstalling everything.

ive tried different version downloads of numpy (<2.0.0) also

idk what to do now

THE ERROR:
