I suspect we should upgrade to a newer version of pytype -- the current release is more than two years newer than the one we are using, and e.g. supports Python 3.9.

I was able to reproduce the error locally after removing the .pytype/ cache, when running with pytype 2021.05.11. and 2021.05.06. Earlier versions (2021.04.26 and 2021.05.04) did not fail. Reported as google/pytype#918

@busunkim96, @crwilcox Should we pin pytype <= 2021.05.04 to work around this issue?

I cannot reproduce this on current master (2768346) against the current release of pytype (2021.5.25).
