pip typing-extensions error related to dominodatalab python-domino library

Version/Environment (if relevant):

This could apply to any version of Domino Data Lab if the project is installing the python-domino library without specifying a version of that library.

Issue:

Workspace or job fails with errors in the user log:

This occurs in conjunction with requirements.txt or pip installs of the dominodatalab / python-domino wrapper library without specifying version of that library.

Root Cause:

A recent change in the python-domino library (version 1.2.0) isn't congruous with older versions of Python (recent example Python 3.6).  This is a reminder that it is good practice to specify the version of the python-domino library that is compatible with your Compute Environment rather than simply installing "latest".

Resolution:

Rather than upgrading your version of Python in your Compute Environment you can ensure you are using a prior version of the python-domino library by modifying your pip install or requirements.txt (from pypi or github).

Via requirements.txt you can specify version, like 1.1.1:
dominodatalab == 1.1.1 

Via pip you can specify version, like 1.1.1:
pip install dominodatalab==1.1.1

If fetching from github directly specify version, like 1.1.1 also:

git+https://github.com/dominodatalab/python-domino.git/archive/1.1.1.zip

pip install https://github.com/dominodatalab/python domino.git/archive/1.1.1.zip
