Error in import squidpy: cannot import name 'SparseCSCView' from 'anndata._core.views'

[diego-iac]

Description

Hi, I'm trying to use squidpy but when I try to import it returns an error. It seems to search for a function in anndata which I couldn't find. I might just have misunderstood the error, and if that's the case, I apologize. Could you please help me understand or resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Minimal reproducible example

#the package was downloaded from conda with other packages like sainsc. I'm running the code in this environment on Spyder 6. Anndata version=0.11.1
import squidpy as sq

I also had the same issue and could fix it by installing version 1.6.2.
