As of 2021-12-23, 3.6 has reached the end-of-life phase of its release cycle
I recommend updating to a newer version of python
filelock has dropped support for 3.6: tox-dev/py-filelock#125
This is a py-filelock issue, not an issue caused by this repo. Which you noted, linking to the py-filelock issue, and it's in the final line of the stack trace. You can work around this by installing an earlier version of py-filelock.
Yeah, breaking changes on a patch release are upsetting. That's a "too hot" debate too. 😄 See https://github.com/tox-dev/py-filelock/issues/126.

To be fair to their project, any issue should be rare. That discussion notes that pip 9 and newer honor python_requires
, and so those pip versions won't attempt to install the py-filelock version that declares that it drops Python 3.6 support. That's why CI is still passing on this project. @whiteowl3, maybe you're using a very old pip?
installing the current version from pip which lists support for 3.6 will fail on 3.6.
