Proposed new feature or change:

Hello,

NumPy 1.26.0 restricts the Python version from above to 3.13.

This makes it impossible to install the package in projects which do not restrict the Python version from above and where a modern package manager like Poetry is used.

For example:
The project Python version is specified as: >=3.10,<4
NumPy Python version is specified as: >=3.9,<3.13

When we try to add numpy dependency to the project we get a dependency resolving error:

The current project's Python requirement (>=3.10,<4.0) is not compatible with some of the required packages Python requirement:
  - numpy requires Python <3.13,>=3.9, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.13,<4.0

Because no versions of numpy match >1.26.0,<2.0.0
 and numpy (1.26.0) requires Python <3.13,>=3.9, numpy is forbidden.
So, because <the project> depends on numpy (^1.26.0), version solving failed.

Why restrict the Python version from above? Is backwards compatibility not working anymore?
NumPy 1.25.0 restricts the Python version as: Python >=3.9
