See #688.

[methane]

Thank you for reporting.
Please using stable (LTS) version instead of beta (innovation) version for now.
I will fix them before it become LTS.

@etripier, @methane Still getting same error.

Issue is closed when fix is committed in main branch. not when fix is released.
So don't expect you can see fix from pip install when issue is closed. You need install from main branch, not from PyPI.

Anyway, I will make new release soon.
