I solved this problem with pip uninstall typing

Yup, we only test against the built-in typing library. Closing as not a bug. Thanks for the report and the follow-up!

When using Pip version 20.1 (released 29/04/2020), the solution of uninstalling the typing package no longer works for some reason. An easy workaround is to ensure you're using the previous version of Pip, 20.0.2, where this solution still works.

PSA: So it turns out that the extra typing package is redundant after py 3.6 and is only used to backport this functionality in earlier versions. https://pypi.org/project/typing/

Can safely uninstall this if you are using any later versions of python.

Hm, yeah, I've notice a couple bugs in recent versions of pip. An upgrade to latest pip/setuptools, plus wiping away and re-building a venv did the trick. So that's another thing to try, especially in this case, if you have a typing uninstall that isn't helping.
