Scipy.spatial does not contain 'qhull'

Question

This is my first question on this site. Let's cut right to it:

I'm trying to create Voronoi diagrams with scipy in Python 3.8 on Kubuntu 20.04, however the problem seems to be that I cannot access the Voronoi class in scipy.spatial because it does not contain a reference to qhull. Other classes like ConvexHull which are also dependent on qhull are inaccessible as well. Trying to open qhull produces Cannot find reference to qhull in __init__.py in PyCharm, and I cannot navigate to it. Looking at the SciPy-Documentation, it would seem as though qhull is expected to be delivered alongside scipy, as there is no further information on how to install it.

So far I have tried:

1. Upgrading scipy to the latest version 1.5.3
2. Fresh install of scipy - I ran pip install with verbose, but no errors or warnings (which should be color-coded afaik) appeared
3. Installing qhull-bin via console
4. Building qhull manually

None of these approaches seems to have changed anything, except I can run qhull in the console now, but that's not really what I'm looking for.

I would appreciate any kind of advice you might have for me.

Answer 1

Guess I should have tried to actually run my code. Turns out it was installed all along, just that PyCharm didn't, and still doesn't, have access to any qhull files or references, meaning the error within PyCharm hasn't disappeard, but the code works.
