Hello @km123abca
For me this is because of your python version, you are using python3.6, could you use python 3.8 instead?

[km123abca]

Thanks. I was using python 3.6. Upgrading to the latest python version solved the problem.

Is python 3.8 the only version that works? I was on 3.9 when i first encountered this issue, then bumped to 3.10 but still having issues.
