A few months ago we merged an implementation of "NEP 34 - Disallow inferring dtype=object from sequences" https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0034.html but it broke downstream packages like scipy, pandas, matplotlib, astropy (those are the ones we know about). Since then, the downstream projects seem to have fixed the problematic code. We have re-merged the implementation. Please check your package against the latest NumPy HEAD and let us know if there are problems.

I went ahead and pushed to numpy-wheels master to build new pre-release wheels. Scheduled builds don't make wheels for Windows so it is useful to make explicit pushes when new features need testing downstream. Chuck
