Issues with IDE integration

[lsuchoy]

Hi

I’ve installed a fresh copy of UW3 on one of our machines, but I’m having trouble getting it to work with any Python IDE, including Jupyter Notebook.

Here’s what I did:

1. I used Mamba to set up the environment.
2. I ran the tests successfully.
3. However, when I installed a new IDE (e.g., mamba install jupyter), some dependencies were overwritten.
4. When I reran the tests, I encountered the following error:

/opt/anaconda3/envs/uw3p/lib/python3.11/importlib/__init__.py:126: in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
tests/test_1050_VEstokesCart.py:3: in <module>
    import underworld3 as uw
src/underworld3/__init__.py:64: in <module>
    from mpi4py import MPI  # for initialising MPI
E   ImportError: libmpi.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Have you encountered this issue before? How did you resolve it?
Should I be using a specific IDE or a particular version of Jupyter Notebook to avoid dependency conflicts?

Thanks,
Lior
