Which was introduced by PR #242 - @RaduG do you know what might be the right fix for this test failure?

[RaduG]

Hi @catern, this issue is caused by Python's typing.Generic class:

• in (and up to) 3.8, typing.Generic defines a __new__ magic method
• in 3.9 the method was removed

The fix would be to stop using typing.Generic as a base and just create a base class that implements __new__. This does not affect the functionality in the PR, it's just a test detail. Happy to address this.
