Description
Reduced reliance on importing
numpy
andglass.jax
and added wrapper for importing numpy to provide a helpful message to the user. Also added detailed docstrings to_array_api_utils
Closes: #679
Changelog entry
Changed: How we import
numpy
andglass.jax
inglass._array_api_utils
so that we no longer explicitly depend on either of them. If numpy is incorrectly imported, a helpful error message will be provided to the user. This will hopefully reduce confusion if a user suddenly requires numpy just because they called a specific function.Checks
