Failing PyAlbany tests in nightly spack build

[ikalash]

Many of the PyAlbany tests are failing in the nightly spack build with the following error:

144: ~PyParallelEnv()
144:
144: ======================================================================
144: ERROR: test_read_non_distributed_npy (__main__.TestIO)

With Kim gone, are there any volunteers to look at this? It's puzzling that the issue doesn't happen in the non-spack nightly builds of Albany that turn on PyAlbany. Do we want to keep PyAlbany on in the nightly spack build?

The tests affected are:

	144 - PyAlbany_IO (Failed)
	148 - PyAlbany_SteadyHeat (Failed)
	149 - PyAlbany_SteadyHeat_MPI (Failed)
	154 - PyAlbany_SteadyHeat_StateMap (Failed)
	155 - PyAlbany_SteadyHeat_StateMap_MPI (Failed)
	156 - PyAlbany_SteadyHeat_Orthogonalization (Failed)
	157 - PyAlbany_SteadyHeat_Orthogonalization_MPI (Failed)
	158 - PyAlbany_RSVDsinglePass (Failed)
	160 - PyAlbany_RSVDdoublePassSymmetric (Failed)
	162 - PyAlbany_RSVDdoublePassNonSymmetric (Failed)
	164 - PyAlbany_HODLR (Failed)
	166 - PyAlbany_adjointSolve (Failed)
	167 - PyAlbany_adjointSolve_MPI (Failed)

After discussing with Mauro, I have deactivated pyAlbany in the nightly spack builds. I am happy to reactivate it once the failing tests issue is resolved.
