* NumPy's C extension modules have begun to use multi-phase initialisation, as defined by :pep:`489`. As part of this, a new explicit check has been added that each such module is only imported once per Python process. This comes with the side-effect that deleting ``numpy`` from ``sys.modules`` and re-importing it will now fail with an ``ImportError``. This has always been unsafe, with unexpected side-effects, though did not previously raise an error.
