@Skylion007 import fails without importing quaternion before habitat_sim. Thoughts? System package conflicts?

[Skylion007]

This is unfortunately common issue with libraries extending other C++ libraries (in this case numpy). It's also can happen as a conflict between the conda and pip installed packages. Finally, it can happen as a bug in the C/C++ bindings.

@Skylion007 how would you suggest us to debug this? Tagging @sanchitgarg who is the developper for this branch.

[ChanganVR]

@Skylion007 is there any update? Other people are also running into this issue. I'd expect more people having the same issue as they start to use the audio library.

[Skylion007]

Ah, sorry missed this the first time. Hmm, this is odd as our __init__ package should automatically import quaternion in the proper order to prevent this. @ChanganVR Is this only an issue with the audio module is enabled?

[ChanganVR]

@Skylion007 It seems so, althought I haven't tested habitat-sim without audio much
