Try using python 3.10. I received this error on python 3.9, but it was fine in a clean conda environment with 3.10.

Found error on python3.8 seems to be cause from this line pk: str | int

Here's a quick fix
in types.py file we add import Union
#change this
from typing import List, Optional
#to this
from typing import List, Optional, Union

Next Under the Media class

#change this
class Media(BaseModel): pk: str | int

#to this
class Media(BaseModel): pk: Union[str, int]
