Nobody has claimed this yet.

Rank_strings version 2.20201202
Also with version 3.20230711
Traceback given when I try to run rank_strings (with or without arguments):

Read stringsifter/rank_strings.py at line 28 and inspect the dependency versions implicated by scipy/sparse/sputils.py and numpy/__init__.py. Run rank_strings with and without arguments to confirm the failure; done means it starts without the numpy.typeDict AttributeError.
