Thank you for filing this issue.

This error looks like it stems from installing aider via system packages (or homebrew), which do not respect the required dependencies aider needs, or the installation might otherwise be broken.

Please install aider separately from other Python modules, e.g. via pipx or venv or even Docker, see the installation instruction for options -> https://aider.chat/docs/install/install.html

This document may be also helpful -> https://aider.chat/docs/troubleshooting/imports.html

This looks like a duplicate of #1502. Please see the comments there for more information, and feel free to continue the discussion within that issue.

I'm going to close this issue for now. But please let me know if you think this is actually a distinct issue and I will reopen this issue.
