But when I try to initiate a project, I get this error :

I don’t know how to fix this problem.

Thanks for you helps. Valentin

Hi, @valdu02100 !

Try using virtual environments to avoid problems with dependencies.

https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/user-guide/installation/#create-a-virtual-environment-strongly-recommended

It looks that multidict in 4.7.1 changed API and in a result broke environment. Rasa is not the only affected project: Multidicts 4.7.0 - TypeError: type 'multidict._multidict.CIMultiDict' is not an acceptable base type (#285) · Issues · pgjones / quart · GitLab.

Our workaround for now was after installing all packages manually retract used version:

pip uninstall -y multidict pip install multidict==4.6.1

Hi @valdu02100! What a day to be installing, when one of our dependency’s dependencies broke things yesterday :sweat_smile: @trytytka is right, for now, the best way at the moment for rasa x is to pin the multidict version as suggested.

There is already a fix released pinning the version in our code for rasa and rasa-sdk, the rasa-x one should come today :slight_smile:

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I went through venv and reinstall rasa as suggested in the documentation and directly via the git repository. Despite this, the error is still present.

    from multidict import istr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'multidict'

I will wait for the patch and try to reinstall all the packages…

Hope you figured this out, the latest versions should have that fixed :slight_smile: sudo pip3 install -U --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple should do it!

Thank you ! This also helps to solve the " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tensorflow.python.tools’; ‘tensorflow.python’ is not a package" error.
