pylops/scipy.sparse.linalg import does not exist

[HRSAstro]

Hi,

I followed the conda installation instructions with no problems. However, I get an error running welcome.py after the matplotlib backend step. The issue arises with "import autolens as al" and gives the following error:

I can reproduce this error in both my autolens and base environments:

However, "from scipy.sparse.linalg._interface import _get_dtype" does work. This looks like a scipy version dependency, but I've not been able to track it down. scipy 1.11.3, 1.10.0 and 1.9.3 all give this error.

In the meantime, I went into the pylops code and changed all the instances of this import, and now the welcome script works fine. Hopefully, this will solve the problem without causing other issues.

Cheers,
Hannah
