NotImplementedError: Cannot convert a symbolic Tensor to a numpy array

The code below used to work last year, but updates in keras/tensorflow/numpy broke it. It now outputs the exception below. Does anyone know how to make it work again?

I'm using:

import numpy as np
from keras.layers import LSTM, Embedding, Input, Bidirectional

dim = 30
max_seq_length = 40
vecs = np.random.rand(45,dim)

input_layer = Input(shape=(max_seq_length,))
embedding_layer = Embedding(len(vecs), dim, weights=[vecs], input_length=max_seq_length, trainable=False, name="layerA")(input_layer)
lstm_nobi = LSTM(max_seq_length, return_sequences=True, activation="linear", name="layerB")
lstm = Bidirectional(lstm_nobi, name="layerC")(embedding_layer)

Complete output of the script above: https://pastebin.com/DsQNWVwz

Installing numpy 1.19.5 works for me even with Python 3.9

pip install -U numpy==1.19.5

My environment is Windows and since I do not have Visual C++ Compiler installed, I ride on third party whl file installation

pip install -U https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/packages/bc/40/d6f7ba9ce5406b578e538325828ea43849a3dfd8db63d1147a257d19c8d1/numpy-1.19.5-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl#sha256=0eef32ca3132a48e43f6a0f5a82cb508f22ce5a3d6f67a8329c81c8e226d3f6e

Solution: Use Python 3.8, because Python 3.9 is not supported by Tensorflow.
