Sage error from module `typing` and python 3.8
Hi,
I installed sage from sagemath-git on AUR with python 3.8, and I have this error upon launching sage:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'
Which seems to be a problem relative to the typing
package, whose version is 3.7.4. I googled that _abc_registry
issue and it seems to be an issue for python 3.7 as well, so not sure if it's specific to the fact that I have python 3.8 on my system. Uninstalling typing
with pip just causes a segfault, even after rebuilding sage.
typing is part of standard library from python3.6 installing it on python3.7 causes AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry' refers #1457 and python/typing/issues/573
I've seen that, but it doesn't explain why sage segfaults if
typing
is not installed, nor what solution there could be.Installig stuff from pip as root is always a bad idea and leads to issues like this. Please post the error you get after uninstalling typing.
I'm not exactly clear how you're installing Sage. Sage doesn't support Python 3.8 yet.
