Python 3.9.3 : "TypeError: Multiple inheritance with NamedTuple is not supported"

[yzoug]

Hello,

I'm using Python 3.9.3 on ArchLinux and launching snscrape is met with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/snscrape", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/snscrape/cli.py", line 224, in main
    args = parse_args()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/snscrape/cli.py", line 159, in parse_args
    import snscrape.modules
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/snscrape/modules/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    _import_modules()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/snscrape/modules/__init__.py", line 12, in _import_modules
    module = importlib.import_module(moduleName)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/snscrape/modules/telegram.py", line 12, in <module>
    class TelegramPost(typing.NamedTuple, snscrape.base.Item):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/typing.py", line 1881, in _namedtuple_mro_entries
    raise TypeError("Multiple inheritance with NamedTuple is not supported")
TypeError: Multiple inheritance with NamedTuple is not supported

Adding the "-vv" and "--dump-locals" switches does not change this output. By searching the web it seems this is an issue with modules not supporting python 3.9, can you confirm ? Any quick workaround, or is my only option a venv on python 3.8 ?

Thanks a lot !

This is fixed in the development version. The release 0.3.4 does indeed not support Python 3.9. I hope to find some time soon to finish a few loose ends and release a new version. Until then, you can either use the dev version or the release with Python 3.6 to 3.8.
