RuntimeError: empty_like method already has a docstring

Question

I am working on a project that was developed using python 3.6 and I am using python 3.7 instead. I tried to run the tests that passed. However in the end I got a series of errors like this one:

Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:

RuntimeError: empty_like method already has a docstring

Do you have any advice?

According to Numpy's Github issues page, the errors the OP reported, as well as the other errors reported by the commenters were known Numpy bugs, that seem to have been solved by now.
