TypeError on Import - TypeError: _TypedDictMeta.__new__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'closed'

What happened?

I am trying to import atlair on my jupyter notebook in vscode. I have a virtual environment of Python 3.13 running where I have installed atlair with all its optional dependencies. However, as I try to import Atlair as following:

import altair as alt

I get the following error:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

What would you like to happen instead?

No response

Which version of Altair are you using?

altair==5.4.1

[jgunstone]

also getting this issue
FYI
issue persists in altair==5.4.0 but is not present in altair==5.3

[abdullahau]

@jgunstone I downloaded the Altair source repo and installed the package directly. The issue was resolved, and Altair has been working fine since yesterday.

as in the issue has been fixed in the main branch but hasn't been released yet?

I believe it is due to Python 3.13 and, if so, a duplicate of #3620, which was fixed in #3591.

Does someone know a rough timeline for the next release of 5.5 which will support Python 3.13? 🙂

@raethlein I've opened a discussion on this now in:

• 5.5.0 Release Planning #3687

Hopefully that should make this easier to track 👍

5.5.0 has been released with Python 3.13 support. See https://github.com/vega/altair/releases/tag/v5.5.0
