numpy vectorize Vector3d()

[saikatxdas]

Hi, I have a usage question regarding the usage of Vector3 class.

Before the change of data type for Vector3 class to array interface was made, it was possible to vectorize the PyObject to store arrays for x, y, z to create an array of Vector3d objects.

vec3d = np.vectorize(Vector3d)
dir = vec3d(x,y,z)

where x, y, z are numpy arrays derived from the direction data in CRPropa output. But now, this process yields the following error
TypeError: Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function 'new_Vector3d'
So, I tried using arrays of x,y,z values stacked in an array, i.e.,
data = np.stack((x,y,z), axis=1),
but still I get the same error. A for loop will also do the job, but can I still use numpy vectorize in some way?

I can confirm an issue but get a different error message.

python: 3.9.2
crpropa: (3.2+) e4d90ea

from crpropa import Vector3d
import numpy as np
x = np.ones(10)
vec3d = np.vectorize(Vector3d)
vec3d(x)
