Cannot install xgi

[avecsally]

Dear contributors,

First of all, thank you so much for the hard work putting all these together. Amazing!
I tried to redo the tutorials, however, I found I cannot install the xgi package at all. How frustrating.
After I pip installed the xgi package, if I go to the notebook and tried to import it, I got this error message that avoid me having the package imported:
"ImportError: cannot import name 'csr_array' from 'scipy.sparse' (/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/scipy/sparse/init.py)"
It seems like something's going on with scipy when importing xgi.
I really have no idea how to deal with this problem.

I hope my question would be helpful for your debugging process and looking forward to hearing the solution!

Best wishes,
Sally

Dear Sally, thanks so much for the feedback!! And sorry to hear that XGI isn't working. Could you confirm which versions of XGI and scipy you are running so I can better assist?

Hello Sally,
I believe the problem is that xgi now needs a version of scipy which is not the one listed in the requirements (that should be updated). Try to upgrade scipy to the latest version and give it another go ;)
Cheers,
