[BUG] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing'

• I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug
I am getting the following error when attempting to use rich:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing'

File "/home/user/Text_Gen/text-generation-webui-main/installer_files/env/lib/python3.11/site-packages/rich/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
  from typing import IO, TYPE_CHECKING, Any, Callable, Optional, Union
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing'

Platform

Click to expand

Linux, ssh from windows cmd prompt

I may ask you to copy and paste the output of the following commands. It may save some time if you do it now.

If you're using Rich in a terminal:

python -m rich.diagnose
pip freeze | grep rich

(/home/user/Text_Gen/text-generation-webui-main/installer_files/env) user@userserver:~$ python -m rich.diagnose

Thank you for your issue. Give us a little time to review it.

PS. You might want to check the FAQ if you haven't done so already.

I'm afraid you have a problem with your Python environment, this isn't a Rich issue. Notice that trying to run just the pip freeze command gave you the same error.

The typing module is in the standard library. If that doesn't exist then something is amis with your environment, as Tom pointed out. Try recreating your virtual environement?
