Answer 1

It could be something to do with Atom, try switching to another editor. I recommend PyCharm or VSCode. If you're choosing VSCode, install these extensions: Python, PyLance, and Jupyter.

If you don't like VSCode's default themes, and miss Atom's One Dark, then there's an extension just for that, Just search for it, and you'll find it!

EDIT: If it wasn't something to do with Atom, maybe install an older version of cvxpy
