fairchem.core.models.utils.basis is not compatible with scipy >=1.17.0 #1717
Description
What would you like to report?
scipy.special.sph_harm was removed last week. It is used in src/fairchem/core/models/utils/basis.py. But it is not clear where this file is actually used in this repo.
It was used in (fairchem_core-1.10.0) OCPCalculator, via fairchem.core.common.utils.setup_imports , which can fail to instantiate due to this (as it did in CI for a project I work on). The UMA/FAIRChemCalculator readme examples in main of v2 work fine (and in our CI).
Neither src/fairchem/core/models/utils/basis.py or fairchem.core.common.utils.setup_imports appear to be referenced in main.
Is this code orphaned? Or is it somehow used with particular models (packaged code)? Meaning that it needs to be pinned to scipy < 1.17.0 or updated.
