I'm coniststently getting this error when trying to use scipy or sklearn packages in Python3.9 via a Jupyter notebook.

The error is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
~/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/scipy/__init__.py in <module>

--> 166         from scipy._lib._ccallback import LowLevelCallable
    167     except ImportError as e:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling scipy both as it describes in the documentation as well as using homebrew but still getting the same error.

Does anyone have an idea how this can be resolved? Scipy was working on my machine a few weeks ago - not sure what has changed in the past weeks.

Any help much appreciated.
