@tiangolo I Checked it with python 3.10, 3.9 and 3.8, all throwing the same error. I always use a clean new venv created with poetry, so there are no conflicts with other packages.

The packages that get installed are:

• typing-extensions (4.2.0)
• pydantic (1.9.0)
• sqlalchemy (1.4.36)
• sqlalchemy2-stubs (0.0.2a22)
• sqlmodel (0.0.6)

Maybe there are some breaking changes in sqlalchemy or pydantic, so we need to lock down the version requirements more tightly?

[byrman]

Check #315.

[tiangolo]

Thanks for the report @mkrd and for the help @byrman!

It seems this was solved by @byrman in #322.

The fix is available in SQLModel 0.0.7 🚀
