Google Drive connection falls in error in Pythonista beta: needs a temporary workaround

cvp

To @omz, @JonB or other guru: the Google Drive connection falls in error in Pythonista beta, due to an identified error in Pythonista code.
Could one of you provide a temporary workaround, like using swizzle, because it is very annoying for my regular processes.
Thanks a lot in advance

PS paid by a beer at next meeting 😀

Yet another thing that was migrated from collections to collections.abc.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections.abc.Hashable

cvp

@ccc I know but I can't change Pythonista code it-self thus I hope a kind of swizzle.

ccc

% python3.10

>>> import collections
>>> setattr(collections, "Hashable", collections.abc.Hashable)
>>> collections.Hashable
<class 'collections.abc.Hashable'>

Try that before importing Google Drive.

cvp

@ccc Thanks. It seems to work, my program crashes further, then I've still to search...
I add you in my guru's list (note that you were already first in the list for Python 😉 but I didn't even know that Python allows such bypass).

cvp

@omz same problem with MutableMapping

Thanks to @ccc, this also works

setattr(collections, "MutableMapping", collections.abc.MutableMapping)

ccc

We do not even need setattr()...

>>> import collections
>>>> collections.Hashable = collections.abc.Hashable
>>>> collections.MutableMapping = collections.abc.MutableMapping
>>>> collections.Hashable, collections.MutableMapping
>(<class 'collections.abc.Hashable'>, <class 'collections.abc.MutableMapping'>)
