Hi there! I was trying to work on my code but I am getting an import error from trying to import scanpy that I have never previously gotten. The issue is a type error with a metaclass conflict between the Axes class and the SubplotBase class.
I thought perhaps this issue was caused due to a new update in the scanpy environment and I was wondering as to why this is occurring and how I might be able to fix it. I tried installing previous versions of scanpy instead as well as the other packages but this did not resolve my issue.
My code was working perfectly fine beforehand and I have not made any changes to the code itself. Besides the issue is within the import itself. Any insight would be extremely helpful thanks so much!
This is the full error shown below:
