If you are unable to install the mkl package on your machine (M2 mac), you can set the single-thread limit single-thread environment variables by adding the following code to the beginning of the respective Python script:

import os
nthreads = 1
os.environ["OMP_NUM_THREADS"] = str(nthreads)
os.environ["OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS"] = str(nthreads)
os.environ["MKL_NUM_THREADS"] = str(nthreads)
