numpy random randint

[lucvandenbulcke]

I checked as well (before seeing your latest answer), and confirm it's the only place.
I can try and create a branch and the PR.

Thanks for bringing this up @lucvandenbulcke, this could be another issue with the new NumPy 2.0.0 release? Just like #1589 which we patched in v3.0.4.

Would you want to create a PR with this change from np.randint(...) to np.random.randint(...)? And perhaps check if there are other instances of this old use too? Or would you prefer if I create this PR?

Actually I juist checked, and this seems to be the only place in the parcels code where a numpy-random function is not called as np.random.funcname(), so only this change needs to be done

I think that I can't create a branch :
luc@thinkpad:/data/oceans/parcels$ git clone [email protected]:OceanParcels/parcels.git
...
luc@thinkpad:/data/oceans/parcels$ cd parcels/
luc@thinkpad:/data/oceans/parcels/parcels$ git checkout -b lucvandenbulcke-numpy-bug
Switched to a new branch 'lucvandenbulcke-numpy-bug'
luc@thinkpad:/data/oceans/parcels/parcels$ git push origin lucvandenbulcke-numpy-bug
ERROR: Permission to OceanParcels/parcels.git denied to lucvandenbulcke.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I don't know how else I should create a pull request -- I guess it's not worth to create a fork just for this.
Apart from this, I made scripts using parcels, that I could share on github if it's useful for anybody (but I don't know where exactly).
