Issue running manim: m_array.py errors with typing.Tuple/typing.List/Any/... references.

[rkhoury]

Description of the bug

Under Windows, using the documentation in https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation/windows.html to grab the necessary dependencies and manim itself, as well as using pip to install this manim plugin, I then proceed to get m_array.py errors when attempting to run manim.exe (by itself or with any arguments). Theses errors are in the form:

Traceback (most recent call last):

and appear to hit for all typing.Tuple, typing.List, Any, (and perhaps more) references in the file.

Perhaps there's something wrong with my setup?

Just as a follow-up, if I add this to m_array.py:

import typing
from typing import Any

and add this to m_variable.py

from typing import Any

Then I'm able to run manim.exe again.

I have the same issue but adding the lines

import typing
from typing import Any

Doesn't help me. Still getting the error.

Using Windows 11, Python 3.12.7 in a conda env and Visual Studio Code

Same sort of bugs on MacOS M1. Currently this package is unusable. From the above though, it sounds like there might be a simple fix.
