Not sure if this has been reported before, but the following line is causing stubtest to crash with numpy>=2.2.0 in case you have an empty numpy array as argument default (which is what least scipy==1.14.1 does):

mypy/mypy/stubtest.py

Line 673 in 60da03a

if runtime_arg.default != inspect.Parameter.empty:

Because since NumPy 2.2.0, ndarray.__bool__ will raise if the array is empty. And the reason why __bool__ gets called, is because ndarray.__ne__ returns another array with np.bool dtype of the same shape:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.__version__
'2.2.0'
>>> a = np.array([])
>>> a
array([], dtype=float64)
>>> a == object()  # numpy "vectorizes" the `==` over each element
array([], dtype=bool)
>>> bool(a == object())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-24>", line 1, in <module>
    bool(a == object())
    ~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: The truth value of an empty array is ambiguous. Use `array.size > 0` to check that an array is not empty.

So when stubtest encounters a def f(a=np.array([])): ... (on the .py side), stubtest will crash:

$ stubtest --mypy-config-file=pyproject.toml --allowlist=.mypyignore --ignore-unused-allowlist scipy
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Luckily, fixing this is just a matter of replacing != with is not when comparing against inspect.Parameter.empty (which happens in at least 2 two other places in mypy/stubtest.py as well, btw).

I could scrape together a PR if you'd like, but that could take some time (of which I don't have a lot the coming week) as I don't have a local dev env for mypy setup at the moment. And I can imagine that's more mypy-savvy could probably fix this in a coffee break on their nokia 3310 (assuming they don't get distracted and end up playing snake 2, of course). Anyway, I wouldn't mind either way, so let me know 🤷🏻.
