How can it be fixed?

I have no idea.
Please help me, thanks.

I solved this problem with pip uninstall typing

[kclowes]

Glad you figured it out. Sorry for the long response time!

[jordanmkoncz]

When using Pip version 20.1 (released 29/04/2020), the solution of uninstalling the typing package no longer works for some reason. An easy workaround is to ensure you're using the previous version of Pip, 20.0.2, where this solution still works.

[kclowes]

@jordanmkoncz which version of web3 are you using?

[jordanmkoncz]

@kclowes I am actually not using web3 personally. However I ran into the exact error that's discussed here (AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry') and so I thought I'd mention that the proposed solution of uninstalling typing appears to have stopped working with the new version of Pip, in case others run into the same problem.
