"from typing import Type" (works in Debian, not working under Arch)

[ttsiodras]

I installed typing via pip3 in both my Debian and Arch environments, and see this:

Under Debian:

$ pip3 freeze | grep typing
typing==3.5.2.2

$ python3
Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 13:14:40) 
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from typing import Type
>>> 

Under Arch:

$ pip3 freeze | grep typing
typing==3.5.2.2

$ python3
Python 3.5.1 (default, Mar  3 2016, 09:29:07) 
[GCC 5.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from typing import Type
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'Type'
>>> 

Have I messed up or is there some difference due to 3.4 -> 3.5?

P.S. In case there's a way around it - I use Type, because I have annotated code like this:

U = TypeVar('U', int, float)

def GetRange(newModule: Module, lineNo: int, nodeWithMinAndMax: Element, valueType: Type[U]) -> Tuple[U, U]:
    ...
    rangel = valueType(mmin)
    rangeh = valueType(mmax)
    return (rangel, rangeh)

...so I can create the appropriate type at runtime in my AST.

Python 3.5 comes with its own version of typing, which was added before the introduction of typing.Type. In the latter example, Python is picking up the standard library version instead of the version from pip.

I see!

Is there any way to "give priority" to the pip3-installed version under python 3.5?

Never mind - got it:
