zhinst update makes HF2LI qcodes driver not working about qcodes_contrib_drivers

[astafan8]

Could you check what version of zhinst-qcodes and zhinst-toolkit you have installed in your environment? if it's 0.3.*, then it's likely that you're facing the consequences of this refactor https://docs.zhinst.com/zhinst-qcodes/en/latest/refactoring/index.html .

The solution for this HF2LI driver in qcodes_ms_drivers could be the following:

• implement a version check upon import of zhinst-qcodes (the 0.3 reports __version__ correctly, while the 0.2.* versions did not even have it), and throw an error or warning to the user suggesting to downgrade to zhinst-qcodes 0.2.* to keep this driver working
• [my recommendation] update the driver to work with 0.3, and still implement the version check that asks the user to update to the 0.3 version of zhinst-qcodes.

the version check could be smth like:

from packaging import version

def is_zi_version_0_3_or_higher() -> bool:
    try:
        zhinst_qcodes_version = zhinst.qcodes.__version__
    except (ImportError, ModuleNotFoundError):
        zhinst_qcodes_version = "0.0"
    return version.parse(zhinst_qcodes_version) >= version.parse("0.3")
