Method visibility issue with Apple M1 install

[artoews]

There seems to be an issue with setting up itk-elastix on an M1 Mac. Running pip install itk-elastix is successful, and I can run import itk in a python script without issue. The problem is that I cannot access methods within itk. For example, from itk import imread fails:

ImportError: cannot import name 'imread' from 'itk' (/Users/test-user/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/itk/__init__.py)

The computer is a MacBook Pro with M1 Max running macOS Ventura 13.3. I tried the exact same setup procedure on an Intel-based Mac with same macOS, and could not reproduce the issue. On the Intel-based Mac commands like from itk import imread work just fine. Indeed, calling dir(itk) on the Intel system returns a very long list that includes imread, but with M1 system the same command returns only these:

['builtins', 'cached', 'doc', 'file', 'loader', 'name', 'package', 'path', 'spec']

Please advise if there are some extra steps for setting up itk-elastix for the M1 system. Thank you.

@artoews Have a look at this issue: #136

itk-elastix==0.14.2 doesn't have the problem.
