I’m unable to import the “diffeqpy” which is the python base pack for the DifferentialEquation.jl on Google Colab. can anyone help?

this is the error I receive trying to " from diffeqpy import de" :

```julia

UnsupportedPythonError: It seems your Julia and PyJulia setup are not supported.

Julia executable:
    julia
Python interpreter and libpython used by PyCall.jl:
    /usr/bin/python3
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
Python interpreter used to import PyJulia and its libpython.
    /usr/bin/python3
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m.so.1.0

Your Python interpreter "/usr/bin/python3"
is statically linked to libpython. Currently, PyJulia does not fully
support such Python interpreter.

The easiest workaround is to pass `compiled_modules=False` to `Julia`
constructor. To do so, first *reboot* your Python REPL (if this happened
inside an interactive session) and then evaluate:

    >>> from julia.api import Julia
    >>> jl = Julia(compiled_modules=False)

Another workaround is to run your Python script with `python-jl`
command bundled in PyJulia. You can simply do:

    $ python-jl PATH/TO/YOUR/SCRIPT.py

See `python-jl --help` for more information.
