[FIXED] Which python version do I need to set up Uplink?

Bug Reports

What I’m trying to do:

Hi, I’m trying to set up Uplink following the Quickstart tutorial using the latest python 3.10. When trying to import anvil.server , I get the following error:

/Users/clauslang/PycharmProjects/Kodex/venv/bin/python /Users/clauslang/PycharmProjects/Kodex/hello.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/clauslang/PycharmProjects/Kodex/hello.py", line 1, in <module>
    import anvil.server
  File "/Users/clauslang/PycharmProjects/Kodex/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anvil/__init__.py", line 161, in <module>
    from ._components import *
  File "/Users/clauslang/PycharmProjects/Kodex/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anvil/_components.py", line 3, in <module>
    from . import server, _server
  File "/Users/clauslang/PycharmProjects/Kodex/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/anvil/server.py", line 80, in <module>
    class TaskState(threading.local, collections.MutableMapping):
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableMapping' ```

I suspect this has to do with the python version and that I should try 3.6 since that’s the latest version I can choose for the server modules in the online editor? Would like to confirm first since at the moment, it is a bit of a difficult process to install older python versions on the new Macbook M1 I’m using. Also, python 3.6 is reaching end of life soon, so would like to use a more recent version ideally.

Thanks for reporting this.
We’ve moved it to bug reports.
Python 3.10 should work and we’ll be implementing a fix for this soon.

Until then, python (up to) 3.9.x works.

We have now released the uplink v0.3.41 with support for Python 3.10, which should solve this for you. Thanks for the report!
