Error in cocoeval.py: Deprecated attribute np.float used, should be replaced with float | line 378

[cori4nder]

Hello,

I encountered an error while using the cocoeval.py module from the COCO API. The error message indicates the usage of a deprecated attribute np.float, which should be replaced with float to avoid future compatibility issues.

Error message:

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float'.
np.float was a deprecated alias for the builtin float. To avoid this error in existing code, use float by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. If you specifically wanted the numpy scalar type, use np.float64 here.

---

To fix this issue, I suggest replacing the line of code in cocoeval.py that contains np.float with float.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just install use pip: pip install pycocotools, it works for me.
Installing from git is for backward compatibility.
