Hi, I face the following issues when importing the module:

I believe this is because you are using Anaconda, we have always had problems when it was not used, but installed on the system. How did you install spirit? (I have never used conda so it is unclear to me)

Can you try it on a system where you don't have conda?

I install it with "pip install spirit" on anaconda prompt. Noted, I would give it a try. Thank you.
