module 'numpy.distutils.__config__' has no attribute 'blas_opt_info'

I'm trying to study the neural-network-and-deep-learning (http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/chap1.html). Using the updated version for Python 3 by MichalDanielDobrzanski (https://github.com/MichalDanielDobrzanski/DeepLearningPython). Tried to run it in my command console and it gives an error below. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling setuptools, theano, and numpy but none have worked thus far. Any help is very appreciated!!

Here's the full error log:

Additional information:

theano is an obsolete package and shall not be used with modern versions of numpy. However some legacy codebase will be using theano, so the workaround of downgrading numpy < 1.22 will be needed as in the accepted answer. The deprecation has been made in numpy 1.22: see numpy issue #21079.

If one would need to stick with numpy 1.22+, blas_opt_info is located in numpy.distutils.system_info.blas_opt_info, so manually patching theano to use the correct symbol would be another workaround.

I had the same issue and solved it downgrading numpy to version 1.20.3 by:

pip3 install --upgrade numpy==1.20.3
