Export to glue: no module named 'glue.app.qt'

[HealthyPear]

I installed glue on an arm64 machine but in a CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 environment.
I installed via pip resulting in

# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel

as soon as I call the to_glue method I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/michele/Software/3D_rendering_radio_data/test_glue.py", line 27, in <module>

    from glue.app.qt import GlueApplication
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'glue.app.qt'

I am instead able to launch glue alone

I fixed this by changing the import code in to_glue as below,

try:
    from glue.app.qt import GlueApplication
except ImportError: 
    from glue_qt.app.application import GlueApplication
from glue.core import DataCollection, Data
from glue.core.coordinates import coordinates_from_header
try:
    from glue.viewers.image.qt.data_viewer import ImageViewer
except ImportError:
    from glue_qt.viewers.image import ImageViewer
except ImportError:
    from glue.viewers.image.qt.viewer_widget import ImageWidget as ImageViewer

if you want I can open a PR.

I can't really make use of this because the only thing I need (iso surfaces) is not available (anymore) from there, but at least I manages to make it work.

thanks @HealthyPear! We'd appreciate you opening a PR.
