[FIXED] How can I get attrdict module working in Python?

Issue

I want to execute the following example:

from attrdict import AttrDict

a = AttrDict({'foo': 'bar'})
print(a.foo)

but I got this error: ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\collections\__init__.py)

How can I solve it? I feel it is like bug. And when I looked inside the file I noticed some problems in it:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\collections\__init__.py:

Solution

The AttrDict project was broken by a change in the move to Python 3.10 but since it was marked as inactive in 2019, this hasn't been fixed.

I found a discussion that seems to indicate that it will be reopened but that doesn't seem to have happened. Looks like we'll have to find alternatives, check out addict.
