Install fails on Python 3.13

getting this error why I try to install on python 3.13.0

Due to a breaking change in the pandas API that caused bugs in nfl_data_py, the latest release is intentionally constrained to numpy < 2.0 (See #98 (comment)). numpy v1 was maintained only up to Python 3.12, so unfortunately that is the expected result when attempting to install on Python 3.13.

Good news! nfl_data_py v1.0 will be released in a few weeks, which will include support for numpy v2.

Here are some workaround options in the meantime:

• (recommended) Use Python 3.12 in a virtual environment. If you haven't used a virtual environment tool before, I recommend conda or pipenv. Learning to use one takes a bit of patience, but it will make your dev life SO much easier in the long run. I'm happy to help if you have questions getting started.

• (if new to Python) Don't want to use a virtual environment and don't mind resetting your system's local Python config? You can downgrade your base Python installation.

• If you are fluent with Docker, you can use the python:3.12 image as a super-isolated virtual environment.

• If you really have a reason you need to use Python 3.13 right now, you can do so by installing the previous version of nfl_data_py that did not include the numpy version constraint. Go this route at your own risk; you will lose the bug fixes described in the 0.3.3 release notes and also possibly encounter weird issues like in #45.
