I suspect the API for sqlalchemy_continuum has changed in later versions and installing it from the requirements.txt got the lastest as no version is specified there. Maybe specifying the package versions in the requirements.txt would fix this and possible future issues of the same kind.

The solution is:

pip install SQLAlchemy~=1.3.0

See https://github.com/archlinux/arch-security-tracker/pull/186/files

[lucabtz]

Indeed that fixed it. Maybe adding the version as indicated by the PR would be a good idea for newcomers

Fixed in https://github.com/archlinux/arch-security-tracker/commit/469dac4294b6ca65b9a52b607d119bc6c4aa63ab
