ImportError: cannot import name 'cross' from 'scipy' in COMPAS LTS

[chenkasirer]

reported by @mlstich (thanks!)

Getting a ImportError: cannot import name 'cross' from 'scipy' with the recently released scipy=1.12.0.
Since we got rid of numerical in 2.0.0 this possibly only effects the LTS.

Should we just pin scipy?

To Reproduce

1. conda install compas=1.17.9 scipy=1.12.0
2. from compas.geometry import Box

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\ckasirer\anaconda3\envs\scipy\lib\site-packages\compas\geometry\__init__.py", line 827, in <module>

    from scipy import cross
ImportError: cannot import name 'cross' from 'scipy' (C:\Users\ckasirer\anaconda3\envs\scipy\lib\site-packages\scipy\__init__.py)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows10
• Python 3.10
• conda
• scipy==1.12.0

get cross from numpy instead

[jackbow]

For those looking for an immediate fix for their own use of compas, I added scipy to my conda environment and pinned it to version 1.11.4 and everything works again.

@jackbow we just released a version with this fix (1.17.10), it's already available on pypi, it will reach conda in a few hours

@chenkasirer we can close this, right?

[chenkasirer]

yes. thanks!
