spectrometer and system information

• model: HDX
• operating system: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009
• python version: Python 3.9.16 or 3.11.9
• python-seabreeze version: 2.9.0
• installed-via: conda

current problem

When issuing seabreeze.use() after importing SeaBreezeError, the following warning will be shown:

 UserWarning: seabreeze.use has to be called before instantiating a spectrometer

steps to reproduce

The following code will trigger the warning:

import seabreeze
from seabreeze.spectrometers import SeaBreezeError
seabreeze.use("pyseabreeze", network_adapter="192.168.254.200")

On the other hand, just importing the Spectrometer works fine:

import seabreeze
from seabreeze.spectrometers import Spectrometer
seabreeze.use("pyseabreeze", network_adapter="192.168.254.200")

I have not investigated the cause further, but from cross-reading the code, I expected that SeaBreezeError would be lazy-loaded as well?
