ImportError due to nilearn API change (nilearn>=0.10.3)

[Hyedryn]

When attempting to use giga_auto_qc, an ImportError is raised during the initialization phase. This issue is encountered when running the --help command or any other functionality provided by the tool. The error log is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/qdessain/ukbb_scripts/giga_auto_qc/venv_autoqc/bin/giga_auto_qc", line 5, in <module> from giga_auto_qc.run import main File "/home/qdessain/ukbb_scripts/giga_auto_qc/venv_autoqc/lib/python3.10/site-packages/giga_auto_qc/run.py", line 4, in <module> from giga_auto_qc.workflow import workflow File "/home/qdessain/ukbb_scripts/giga_auto_qc/venv_autoqc/lib/python3.10/site-packages/giga_auto_qc/workflow.py", line 4, in <module> from giga_auto_qc import assessments, utils File "/home/qdessain/ukbb_scripts/giga_auto_qc/venv_autoqc/lib/python3.10/site-packages/giga_auto_qc/assessments.py", line 11, in <module> from nilearn.masking import intersect_masks, _load_mask_img ImportError: cannot import name '_load_mask_img' from 'nilearn.masking' (/home/qdessain/ukbb_scripts/giga_auto_qc/venv_autoqc/lib/python3.10/site-packages/nilearn/masking.py)

This issue seems to be caused by an api change in nilearn>0.10.2, where some functions prefixed with an underscore had their leading underscores removed. Downgrading to nilearn 0.10.2 resolves the issue.

Environment:

• giga_auto_qc version: 0.3.4
• Python version: 3.10.2
• nilearn version: 0.10.3
