interface/scipy_wrapper not compatible with scipy 1.11.

[pinguicula]

In interface/scipy_wrapper there is a BIN_OPS with __div__. In version 1.11 this is removed so it is no longer possible to import cvxpy without raising an error.

There were changes made to spmatrix in 1.11. I assume that an equivalent spmatrix.__div__ still exists but I do not know its name.

Also, __div__ is the first binop in the list of operations so it is likely that the other binary operations have the same issue.

Thanks for considering this.

@pinguicula Which version of CVXPY are you on? This should have been fixed by #2159
I tested running 1.4 with SciPy 1.11 without issues.

My apologies: I am using conda and therefore running an older version.
Your linked issue seems to address this problem. I will close this issue and wait for the updated version in conda.

Thank you for your response and for your work on cvxpy!

Update: Conda now has 1.4.+ and scipy 1.11 is working.
