Bug with dependency kvxopt 1.3.2.0

[jinningwang]

Describe the bug

After requirement installation where kvxopt=1.3.2.0, andes cli run into error.

I've made a version limit in AMS requirement: kvxopt>=1.3.0.0,!=1.3.2.*

To Reproduce

Create a fresh conda environment and install requirements.txt will run into this error. Terminal command I used is as below:

(base) jinningwang@jwmba-3 andes % mamba create --name ltb python=3.9

(base) jinningwang@jwmba-3 andes % mamba activate ltb

(ltb) jinningwang@jwmba-3 andes % pip list

[jinningwang]

Hold a sec, this error goes away again after upgrading kvxopt to 1.3.2.0.
It's weird, let me try again.

[jinningwang]

After a fix in kvxopt, the issue is solved.
