anndata version 0.11.0 throws ImportError in Google Colab

Please make sure these conditions are met

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of anndata.
• (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of anndata.

Report

Google Colab notebook replicating the error:
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/13sCN2rGb5P2udAV-YKJ2FM0iiA3QldXX?usp=sharing

Note: This error is fixed when the Colab runtime is switched to a GPU session. However, GPU sessions are expensive and Google Colab plays an increasingly important role in sharing transcriptomic data analysis code, so I think being able to use anndata on the free CPU runtime of Google Colab is essential.

(edit) Also note that this error does not occur for previous versions of anndata.

Versions

0.11.0 (cannot run this because import fails)

For now, I would recommend uninstalling cupy-cuda12x i.e., pip uninstall cupy-cuda12x -y.

A different fix is to upgrade cupy. That version of cupy has the not-very-helpful error-on-import (even if the module is there), but cupy>=0.13.0 does not, and works fine.

pip install --upgrade "cupy-cuda12x"
