AttributeError: 'zipimport.zipimporter' object has no attribute 'exec_module'

Get this error trying to run module. Seems to happen no matter what. Maybe changes since Python>3.5 based on this project's error? https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/6177

Also facing this issue.

I'm using pipenv. To fix this, I just did pipenv --rm and reinstalled everything again, including typer-cli and it worked.

I think this issue has been fixed in the python standard library: https://bugs.python.org/issue42131

You can reduce the version of the package "Markdown". I also meet this problem, then I uninstall "Markdown" which is 3.5 and reinstall a new one which is 3.1.

Hello, now Typer-CLI is part of Typer, since version 0.12.1, so you just need to install pip install typer and you get the typer command. 🚀

So, any question would now be in the Typer repo. If you still have problems, please create a new question discussion following all the steps, with an example I can copy paste to replicate it: https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/discussions/new?category=questions

Thanks!
