Install module cbpro throws multiple errors in several other projects (python 3.10, pycharm)

I have made a few projects which run fine. A new project required me to install pip install cbpro (a module for dealing with coinbase cryptocurrency API).

After installing it, even running the simplest code throws several errors:

Input:

import cbpro

import pandas as pd c = cbpro.PublicClient()

data = pd.DataFrame(c.get_products()) data.tail().T

Errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/me/PycharmProjects/stonks/coinbase_interface.py", line 1, in <module>
    import cbpro
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cbpro/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    class RequestsCookieJar(cookielib.CookieJar, collections.MutableMapping):
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableMapping'

Secondly, when I then go to other projects that were working well, I get additional errors. Of note, those projects start with:

import pandas as pd
import requests
import json

Errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/me/PycharmProjects/stonks/historical_crypto_pull.py", line 2, in <module>

    class RequestsCookieJar(cookielib.CookieJar, collections.MutableMapping):
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableMapping'

Things I've tried:

  • If I uninstall cbpro, then uninstall and reinstall requests, I can undo the error and am back where I started. However, I'm interested in knowing why I am encountering these errors because I'd like to actually use cbpro and know how to solve this issue in the future.
Solution

  • The libraries I was using were not compatible with Python 3.10. I am still at a loss for how I would inherently know that based on the errors thrown, but since then my solution was to install Python 3.9 and see if I still get the same errors when running 3.9.

    (Then I also read that it might be a better idea for my current purposes to use a slightly older version of Python, so I moved over to 3.9 completely and haven't had the same issue again.)
