Problem description

I encountered an issue when trying to run the command python cli.py. The problem arises because there is a types folder in the project directory, which conflicts with Python's built-in types module. This conflict results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/c/Users/yuzhn/PycharmProjects/MLE-agent/agent/cli.py", line 3, in <module>
    import click
  File "/home/nieyuzhou/miniconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/click/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>

    from functools import wraps

    from types import GenericAlias
ImportError: cannot import name 'GenericAlias' from partially initialized module 'types' (most likely due to a circular import)

Steps to reproduce the problem

cd agent
python cli.py

Expected behavior

Other information

To resolve this issue, I suggest renaming the types folder to something else to avoid this naming conflict.

have you install and try mle new

have you install and try mle new

This works for me. This issue does not affect actual usage by users; it was only encountered when trying the python cli.py for debugging purposes during development.

cli.py is not a script to run directly
